The Battleship Potemkin (1925) is one of my favourite films and undoubtedly one of the most inspiring films of all time, not least for that scene at the Odessa Steps. The film will be shown on March 5th (5pm) at the Irish Film Institute in Temple Bar, as part of of the Dublin Festival of Russian Culture. Interestingly, it will be re-released in April.
Eisenstein’s influential masterpiece about the navy mutiny that sparked off the Russian Revolution has been newly restored by the Deutsche Kinemathek. Edmund Meisel’s original score is played by the 55-piece Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg, conducted by Helmut Imig [more].
