Easily one of the great technical accomplishments in cinematic history

This feels like a more mature effort than Strike, which I watched last week. It's less impressionistic, with a through line of story that enhances the overall message. Supplemented by the same editing techniques (which I love), this film has a pounding bass line of emotion that runs throughout and which culminates in the brilliant Odessa steps sequence. The camera movement, down the steps with the army and back up again with the resistance, was pretty breathtaking.

It's March 2022 and it's perhaps more relevant than ever. The Russian people once again mislead by their leaders. Maybe it's time for another mutiny at the coast off Odessa. The revolution depicted in this movie was only a short relief it seems. It still looks great btw. Wonderful music.

I'm not going to attempt to find loads of cinematic superlatives about this. It's just a great film that depicts the epitome of cruelty, indifference and kindred spirit at sea in spades. The crew of this powerful warship are treated little better than prisoners in a gulag. When the ship's doctor ins More
