Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The most brilliant of all Soviet silent films.

fresh:
The cinema's first modernist... was the Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein. As his most famous work, Battleship Potemkin, from 1925, shows, his analytical, quasi-scientific methods bore the mark of both aesthetic and political upheavals.

The director displays a vivid imagination and an artistic appreciation of motion picture values.

fresh:
For all Potemkin's rabble-rousing propaganda, Eisenstein's aestheticism is everywhere apparent.

It is a knockout.
