Earth: Zemlya (1930)

This film is included in the "1001 Movies to See Before You Die" Book and is listed because of its historical impact in the Soviet Union. This silent film is about collective farming and a citizens uprising against the rich people in their town when they are given a tractor.

Highly censored on release in Russia and re-released in its complete format it is a neat film. Problem I have with most silent films is the lack of a storyline. There really isn't much going on here and would be a couple scenes in a modern film rather than a complete work.

For what it is and when it came out it was not bad. I have a hard time suggesting silent films, and this is not one of the better ones. If you want an American silent film about farming watch A Corner in Wheat, it is only 14 minutes long, but I wouldn't even recommend it, I have it a 4/10...

Vote: 6/10
