In ten years this great film will be a hundred years old. Do they remember? Of all the possible topics, only controversies about Eisenstein's orientation penetrated information space thanks to the dubious creative artist Peter Greenaway. True or speculation, but definitely important things are passed by and even retouched.
And the important thing is that “Battleship Potemkin” is one of the best Soviet films. Yes, and in the history of world cinema stands alone. The revolutionary theme is probably no longer interesting for everyone, but the expression with which the film was made is simply fascinating.
Already from the very first chapter - “People and Worms” we find ourselves in a recreated reality. Eisenstein hastily and dynamically scrolls in front of us a well-known outline of events. Shows the notorious doctor, worms on meat, tarpaulin, these stupid glasses (or pince-nez), severe Vakulenchuk. It's all so lively and agile that the effect of chronicles arises, as if a strange person from a distant future, on a time machine, was in the thick of those events and captured some nuances with a smartphone.
Here, many extol the scene of the shooting of civilians on the Potemkin Stairs. Indeed, Eisenstein was incredibly expressive there. With a cruel chill, he fixed the most unattractive moments of leisurely evaluation. With this viewer problems should arise. However, I would single out the final raid of the ships. How exquisitely the camera was looking for symmetry on the deck and in the layout of the ship's guns deserves some words of gratitude. In comparison, shots of ships sailing and shooting may not seem so spectacular. It is likely that it is so, but the impression is majestic.
This is a brilliant film, which in itself is a completed textbook directing. He is close to perfection in every way. Do you doubt? Just then carefully read Eisenstein's “Indifferent Nature” about logarithmic spirals, carrying in themselves images of uniform evolution in artistic compositions. It's not easy. The success of each of his films is not accidental. Is it worth mentioning a brilliant installation?
