In 1924, the Proletkult offered a young, 26 year old Eisensten, the job of directing the fist of eight films in a series "Towards Dictatorship". This brilliant and complex re-creation of the Development of a 1912 factory strike in Tsarist Russia, and its savage destruction by agents, provocateurs, police and mounted troops, was an ideal vehicle for Eisenstein to reflect the dialectic of the Russian revolution. Using the Kulshov "montage" effect in editing, in this, Eisensten’s first film, he shows tremendous skill enhancing symbolism and achieving highly charged emotionally responses to the strength, energy and heroism of the working classes and tragic events depicted. Strike is truly a visual and technical masterpiece – at times, overwhelming in its powerful portrayal of these historic events. The only film ever made in the series, it changed the direction of the Soviet cinema for decades to come.
