- Synopsis:
- "Reconstruction or Reality'...this is the most definitive part of events on the history, myths and manipulation of Russia in Revolution! "October 1917" (1928), also known as "10 Days that Shook the World", charts the period leading from the Czar's abdication, through the months of indecisive Provisional Government to the Bolshevik storming of the Winter Palace. Eisenstein takes montage technique to new limits, as images of individuals and institutions overwhelm the viewer. The scrolling background story details events as they really were, and Shostakovich's music again sets the scene.
