Strike: Stachka (1925)

Sergei M. Eisenstein, director of Battleship Potemkin is easily one of the most famous directors from the early part of the 20th Century. His films of the Russian revolution have some of the most powerful images and scenes of the silent era. If you are familiar with the Odessa scene in Battleship Potemkin then you know that his films can be gory and depressing as well.

This film is about Russian factory workers standing up to capitalist management. When they refuse the basic requests, like an 8 hour work day and fair treatment the mob is enticed by management's spies and the army is called in...

Don't expect a happy ending from Eisenstein, his films are meant to stir your emotions. Just average for me, I'd rather watch Battleship again than this...

Vote: 6/10
