(OK) Great even difficult, because Dovjenko wants elements, gestures, edition and poetry, telling everything. A mixture of his own style with Eisensntein's faith in edition and soviet mystich on machines and hand labour.

Alexander Dovzhenko, one of the four giants of early Soviet revolutionary cinema, shattered the film world with his silent masterpiece "Earth," even though few outside the director's native Ukraine connected with its specific references to place and topic.

Release date: 17 October 1930
