    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Production was stopped by Soviet officials in 1937. Sergei Eisenstein had spent two years filming and had up to three different completed versions. The footage that had been shot up to that point was taken to a film storage vault, which was destroyed in a German bombing raid during the war. The film was alleged to have also been destroyed at this time; however, the government is thought to have destroyed it earlier on. Eisenstein, though, saved two frames from the beginning and end of all of his shots and in the mid-'60s these were put together according to script, story board and notes for a 31-minute reconstruction of film stills.
    • 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.

    A beguiling fragment
    There's a unique charm in a film suggested by its stills, an absence wrought by politics. Hope Eisenstein did hide away a copy that shows up but am as happy for the fragments as I am for the misnamed Elgin marbles.
