If you have seen Battleship Potemkin & October, you should not miss Sergei Eisenstein at his mature best. The film is moody, brooding, and powerful. The acting is probably the best of any of his films and the dramatic power of well-designed scenes that are meant to convey extra force, is unmistakable. A film that is meant to be seen, not simply a story, because visually it's magnificent.
