Potemkin [Region 2]

Rated: Unrated
Staring: Aleksandr Antonov , Vladimir Barsky , Grigori Aleksandrov , Ivan Bobrov , Mikhail Gomorov
Director: Sergei M. Eisenstein
Sergei Eisenstein's revolutionary sophomore feature has so long stood as a textbook example of montage editing that many have forgotten what an invigoratingly cinematic experience he created. A 20th-anniversary tribute to the 1905 revolution, Eisenstein portrays the revolt in microcosm with a dramatization of the real-life mutiny aboard the battleship Potemkin. The story tells a familiar party-line message of the oppressed working class (in this case the enlisted sailors) banding together to overthrow their oppressors (the ship's officers), led by proto-revolutionary Vakulinchuk. When he dies in the shipboard struggle the crew lays his body to rest on the pier, a moody, moving scene where the citizens of Odessa slowly emerge from the fog to pay their respects. As the crowd grows Eisenstein turns the tenor from mourning a fallen comrade to celebrating the collective achievement. The government responds by sending soldiers and ships to deal with the mutinous crew and the supportive townspeople, which climaxes in the justly famous (and often imitated and parodied) Odessa Steps massacre. Eisenstein edits carefully orchestrated motions within the frame to create broad swaths of m...

Sergei Eisenstein's "Strike," with Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane," mark the most outstanding cinematic debuts in the history of film.

The managers, owner and the Czarist government dispatch infiltrators in an attempt to break the workers unity. Unsuccessful, they hire the police and, in the film's most harrowing and powerful sequences, the unarmed strikers are slaughtered in a brutal confrontation. This edition of "Strike" is digitally remastered from a mint-condition 35mm print made from the original camera negative and features new digital stereo music composed and performed by the Alloy Orchestra.

Battleship Potemkin (1925) [Remastered Edition]

Rated: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Staring: Aleksandr Antonov , Vladimir Barsky , Grigori Aleksandrov , Ivan Bobrov , Mikhail Gomorov
The movie revolves around an uprising on board the Battleship Potemkin (Bronenoset Potemkin) in 1905. Conditions on the ship are unbearable, which in turn incites revolutionary fervor among the sailors, most notably within the character of Vakulinchik. After the ship's doctor declares rancid meat safe to eat, the sailors buy provisions at the canteen in a show of protest. The Admiral then orders all those who ate the borsch made with the meat to step under the cannons in a show of loyalty. Those who do not are covered under a tarp and ordered shot. Vakulinchik then implores his shipmates to rise up against those who oppress them, namely the officers of the ship. All the officers are killed and the ship is liberated. During the uprising, Vakulinchik dies. His body his placed on the docks in the Odessa harbor as a symbol of the revolution. The citizens of Odessa rally around his body and join the Potemkin in their revolt. Cossaks then come, in one of the most famous scenes of the film, and slaughter the helpless citizens on the steps leading to the harbor, effectively ending the revolt in Odessa. A fleet of battleships then comes to destroy the Potemkin.

Strike (Enhanced) 1925 - Stachka

Staring: Aleksandr Antonov , Yudif Glizer
Director: Sergei Eisenstein
Strike(Enhanced) 1925 by Sergei M. Eisenstein

The first full-length movie by Sergei Eisenstein, Srike tells the story of what happens when the workers of a Russian factory go on strike. Told in six parts, each part shows a different aspect of the strike in succession. The strike begins when a worker is accused of stealing machinery and commits suicide. The end depicts the factory owners, frustrated with the striking workers, calling in the government and military to help put down the workers.

In his first film, Sergei Eisenstein introduces us to his ground-breaking film techniques, which are still used today. Montage, one of the popular techniques used by Eisenstein in many of his films, was used here to compare the brutal way the factory workers were being treated with the treatment of animals. The scenes of violence and brutality are used not to shock, but to make a statement of the times. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Battleship Potemkin

Rated: Unrated
Staring: Aleksandr Antonov , Vladimir Barsky , Grigori Aleksandrov , Ivan Bobrov , Mikhail Gomorov
Director: Sergei M. Eisenstein
Stylistically, The Battleship Potemkin serves as a revolutionary film, not only in its subject matter, but also in its unique use of montage. As a pioneer who championed a new purpose for cinema, Eisenstein proposed a "kino fist" approach to filmmaking, one in which the film attacks the viewer’s senses with symbolic metaphors, rhythmic editing, and highly-charged melodrama. Includes a rare documentary on Eisentein.
