Strike (1925)
Country: USSR
Technical: bw 70m (24fps)
Director: Sergei Eisenstein
Cast: Grigori Alexandrov, Maxim Strauch, Mikhail Gomarov
Synopsis:
In pre-Revolutionary Russia the workers at a factory strike when one of their number hangs himself upon being wrongly accused of thievery. Euphoria turns to hardship, and spies (aka counter-revolutionaries) facilitate matters for the eventual military crackdown.
Review:
Powerful polemical film-making, preparing methods that would be used more famously in Battleship Potemkin.
