Strike (1925) – S. Eisenstein
Eisenstein's first
film is a dynamic story of a failed workers' strike told with panache and, yes,
some crazy montage action (not to mention superimposition and other camera tricks
of the time). The Kuleshov effect shots (you see someone's face, then you see
what they are looking at, then back to the person) can be somewhat jarring. Too
bad the fat cat capitalists win (this time).
