just dull dull dull dull dull . oh and pointless . what art there be in this movie be limit to still composition . a great work to demonstrate the importance of a cinematographic eye rather than a compositional one . some pretty black and white picture of fruit ripening on the vine and some waving wheat . a silly segment where a man discuss the fact that he about to die and get a little something to eat and say ok i be go to die now and do . other than that 70 odd minute of obscure and ineffective propaganda in favor of tractor and collectivization . if lenin have see this movie he would have go into investment banking and rather than waste more time espouse communism . please do not waste your time on this .
