Movie No. 25 (2014): BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN
Battleship Potemkin (1925)
Director: Sergei Eisenstein
Silent film, with intertitles
The copy of the film is not in best condition but it's watchable. People have been singling out the pioneering montage editing as the best thing about the film. So, that's the montage editing. It's very clever and artistic. It's integral to the perceived genius of the film. That scene at the Odessa steps has already gone down in the history of cinema, or of arts in general.
