Trivia

Sergei M. Eisenstein was initially unimpressed by the screen test for Viktor Kartashov, but after seeing his interactions with other cast members, decided the child was right for the part. See more »

Alternate Versions

The only surviving version of this film was assembled in the 1960s using surviving still frames that Sergei Eisenstein had saved during editing. They were arranged based on the script and set to music. Although the original would have been a sound film, no sound elements are available any more, so the current version is silent, and uses intertitles. See more »

User Reviews

I agree with the other user comment I have read on this film:May have been Eisenstein´s best film!!
12 January 2002 | by anton-6 – See all my reviews

I saw the reconstruction of this film on the Criterion Collection dvd set Eisenstein: The sound years.The photography is fantastic and I think it would have been a masterpiece but it was destroyed.It could be a bit confusing to follow the story in the reconstruction(it´s something about 30 minutes long)but it´s still very interesting.
