A dramatized account of a great Russian naval mutiny and the resultant public demonstration in support, which brought on a police massacre. The film had an incredible impact on the development of cinema and is a masterful example of montage editing.

What are critics saying?
Battleship Potemkin is first and foremost an action drama, a work of straightforward emotion and pulse-quickening tension.
Slant Magazine by Jesse Cataldo
A persistently political work salvaged by its unforgettable grasp of motion.
It’s propaganda, yet of the most artistic variety.
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
Eisenstein's film still has a hypnotic urgency.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
One of the fundamental landmarks of cinema.

Perhaps the best known of the Soviet Montage films, created by perhaps the best known Soviet Montage filmmaker and philosopher. This film is an incredible cultural artifact of the early years of socialism in Russia, demonstrating how they disseminated propaganda and socialism ideals to a largely illiterate population.
