- Soviet Montage
- Silent Cinema
- Historical Epic
Russia, 1905. On a warship in the Black Sea, anger over conditions below deck builds toward a confrontation between crew and officers. Eisenstein turns a historical episode into a tightly structured, five-part drama of pressure, defiance and consequence, told almost entirely through images and cutting.
