Synopsis:
With art being used by the Soviet state for propaganda, Eisenstein was commissioned by the authorities to celebrate the tenth anniversary of 1917's October Revolution. However, his presentation of the events through experiments in editing and camera angles, rather than by using traditional narrative, managed to link religious leaders with pagan idols and the army. It won international praise, except back home where Eisenstein once again fell foul of the Soviet authorities, accused of not using the language of the masses.
