Ten Days That Shook the World

Classic Soviet silent film recreating the overthrow of the Kerensky regime by the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. Director Sergei Eisenstein filmed in many of the original sites with many of the original participants for a newsreel-like recreations of his country's turbulent history--and then combined this realism with stunning, imaginative montage sequences. A rousing, unique work from a master filmmaker. (Alternate title: October)
