Battleship Potemkin

Initially censored by several countries for fear of spreading the communist ideology, Battleship Potemkin stands out as one of the most illustrious films in the history of cinema, putting into practice Eisenstein's theories on editing, a fundamental element of avant-garde cinema. Eisenstein's film tells the story of the mutiny that took place in 1905, when the crew of the battleship Potemkin revolted against the oppressive regime imposed by their officers. The film features one of the most famous sequences in the history of cinema: the massacre on the Odessa steps.
