while i have see and enjoy similar movie to this one that be silent film about the russian revolution and such a potemkin and ten day that shake the world and i do not particularly enjoy this one . this be mostly due to the annoying and artsy way that the director choose to shoot the film . while potemkin excel in it editing style and this movie use similar technique with a lot less finesse in some place and the editing seem very choppy and amateurish . plus and and this be truly annoy and the use of zombie throughout the beginning of the film and late in the film really be over the top . what i mean by zombie be that to illustrate just how depressed and oppress the ukranian peasant be and the people stand like mannequin in many scene . and and they stand like this and unmoving and for a very long period of time and while the evil capitalist and exploiter of the mass walk by . gim me a break . this movie be a wonderful example of style over substance and it only a movie for those who enjoy or can overlook the overindulgent direction . by the way and the dvd for this film be improve and somewhat and if you leave the audio commentary on . this make the movie easy to follow and give a few interesting insight .
