5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, Battleship Potemkin 1925 goes Blu-ray !!! (INCREDIBLE) (explained)
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2010

BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN from the Russian Series "The Year 1905". Proclaimed as on of the BEST FILMS ever made (silent or sound)!!!!

That is a claim that was hard to swallow especially since this was a silent film. In todays world, sitting and watching subtitles and a black and white 1925 Standard Ratio film seems meaningless and a waste of time.

Well let me tell you this film has showed up on every Best Film list ever made including "1001 Movies you must see before you die" so I took the Challenge. First I saw the VHS version and struggled to watch this classic and the poor quality (picture and sound) was horrible!!! So I wondered how could this film be rated so highly by ALL THE EXPERTS.

ATTENTION: The HD Blu-ray Home Theater (Large 9' Projection Screen) Environment with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 does the trick. Especially since "Battleship Potemkin" has been remastered to the closest version of it's original 1925 premier with the Music Score by Edmund Meisel (1926) a full orchestra sound track. OUTSTANDING!!!!

Kino International gets 5 STARS in presenting this movie at its finest!!!!!!

The picture photography, clarity, story telling, direction, editing is perfect!!! Remember this was 1925. You get to see and hear it better than the cinema version from 1925, thanks to this Blu-ray presentation. The movie delivers a timeless message against war in a very touching way. Don't miss this classic film and enjoy its wonderful story and the genius of Russian Director Sergei M. Eisenstein.

Special Features Include; A 42 minute documentary. The restored film with new English or Russian intertitles. The original 1926 Edmund Meisel musical score presented in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. Photo galleries.

NOTE: Since this is a very rare experience if at all possible rent it first!!! Then determine if you would want this as a HD Blu-ray library addition. I have it and have watched 3 times already because of its greatness, I do agree now with this Blu-ray version that "Battleship Potemkin" is one of the great films of all times. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the last word in film restorations for this movie
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2012

The Kino Restoration of Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin is probably the most satisfactory of any yet attempted. Potemkin was premiered on Jan 1, 1926 at the Bolshoi Theater. The director was 27 at the time. It concerns his account of a historic revolt by sailors of the Tsar's Navy in 1905. The revolt began as an outcry against oppression by superior officers and took on more significance when the revolting sailors after seizing control of the ship rose in revolt against an oppressive State. The Soviets initially showed the movie as a propaganda film but its meaning as envisioned by Eisenstein goes much deeper, being an outcry against all oppression by the State as well as denial of basic rights.

The history of the film is complex but it has become universally regarded as one of the greatest films ever make. Early prints were sent to Germany and the film was subjected to frequent editing and censorship. In the last 30 years or so attempts were made to realize the film as Eisenstein envisioned. Under the leadership of Enno Patalas and groups in Germany, Russia and Great Britain the Kino Restoration was first shown in 1905. It also contains a new recording in 5.1 Stereo Surround sound of Edmund Meisel's original film score. The restored version also contains 1,374 shots missing from earlier versions along with all of Eisenstein's 146 shots of text which were restored too.

The Kino Restoration is on two discs which includes supplemental material including a 42 minute documentary on the making and restoration of the film. The set also includes a booklet about the movie by Bruce Bennett.

I saw this film in the past before a live audience, which was mesmerized by the experience. The Kino Restoration is better. There are film images of the black and white montages showing human suffering in these conditions which stay in your mind, making the Battleship Potemkin truly an unforgettable film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Odd that soundtrack issues are the only criticism
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2015
Verified Purchase
It seems odd to criticize the soundtrack for a silent film. But, nonetheless, the only complaint I can make is the occasional cutting out from the music score which becomes tedious the more times it happens. After a time I was so distracted worrying about when the music would be clipped that I lost concentration on the film. This is a major concern with a silent film's dependence on visual over sound. Even with that said, however, the quality of the film and remastering is so well done that they outweigh the soundtrack issues. This is a must-see film for all movie lovers. Even if you are one who finds silent films difficult to watch, I think you will find this one difficult to turn off. The story is a mix of legend, history, and propaganda but the film's strengths are not in the reliable historical details. Some would say it is a true reflection of the beliefs and values of the people in that place and time (early 20th century Soviet Union) more than a reflection of history. But is not history, at least in part, the sum of the beliefs and values of a particular people at a particular time? At the very least, it is impossible to understand historical events fully without the context of the beliefs and values of the people during that time. The artistic and historical value make this a must see for all movie enthusiasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Revolution

Vorsicht: Diese Fassung hat lediglich eine Laufzeit von 63 Minuten, es gibt inzwischen eine restaurierte Fassung mit 70 Minuten Laufzeit.

Nach der Niederlage im russisch-japanischen Krieg verschärften sich die sozialen und politischen Konflikte im Zarenreich. Die Spannungen dehnen sich auch auf die Hafenstadt Odessa am schwarzen Meer aus. Als die Seemänner des Panzerkreuzers "Fürst Potemkin" verdorbenes Fleisch essen sollen, bricht an Bord die Meuterei aus. Beginnend mit der Schiffsmeuterei, die dann an Land weitergeführt wurde, gab es weitere Erhebungen im ganzen Land - bis hin zum historisch bedeutsamen Dezemberaufstand.
Sergej M. Eisensteins Film "Panzerkreuzer Potemkin" ist zweifelsohne eines der großen Meilensteine der Filmgeschichte. Mit diesem wuchtigen Werk nahm der sowjetische Film auch seinen berechtigten Platz im Weltkino ein. Der Film wurde sowohl im Inland als auch International überschwänglich gefeiert. Auch heute noch ist dieses Meisterwerk, dass leider nur noch in einer 70 Minütigen Fassung erhalten ist, trotz pathetischer Ausrichtung ein extrem mitreissender Film.
Eisenstein folgt einem chronologischen Aufbau in Form einer fünfaktiken Tragödie, die Handlung wird vornehmlich durch Symbolik und vor allem durch eine Bildersprache beherrscht. Letztere setzt auch auf Bilder von Menschen, die Teil dieser Ereignisse werden.
Auffallend ist vor allem die im 4. Akt gezeigte Treppenszene beim Regierungspalast in Odessa, die direkt ans Meer führt. Mit verwegener Rhythmik und einer starken Dynamik des Schnitts werden die Menschen, die sich dort versammelt haben, von einem grausamen Gegenschlag des Zarenregimes überrascht. Extreme Nahaufnahmen und der Einsatz von neuen innovativen Montagetechniken versetzen mich als Zuschauer auch heute noch - mehr als 90 Jahre nach der Enstehungszeit dieses Klassikers - in echtes Erstaunen. Dagegen sind neue CGI Tricks fast schon zum Einschlafen langweilig. Sie wurde auch mehrfach von anderen anerkannten Regisseuren kopiert - ich erinnere mich an "Brazil" von Terry Gilliam und vor allem auch an die beste Szene von Brian de Palmas "The Untouchables".

"Panzerkreuzer Potemtik" ist zweifelsohne noch heute ein virtuoses Erlebnis für den Filmfan. Ein Film mit legendärem Ruhm. Man spürt den Sturmwind eines gewaltigen Abenteuers auf der Leinwand. Zu seiner Zeit war der Film hochpolitisch und man kann ihn natürlich als Propagandafilm der damals noch jungen Sowjetunion ansehen, doch er wirkt heute auf mich universeller. Jahrzehntelange Zensur und fanatische Anhänger machten es schwer, die Geschichte hinter dem Film zu sehen. Unzählige Analysen seiner Struktur, seiner Symbolik, seines Ursprungs oder seiner Auwirkung gab es. Was bleibt ist sein Mythos. Die berühmte Szene vom Massaker auf der Treppe ist eine der einflussreichsten Szenen des Kinos überhaupt, dieses Ereignis hat aber so wie es Eisenstein schildert nicht stattgefunden.
Das erste Bild zeigt den Alltag der Besatzung des Potemkin, ein Schlachtschiff der Schwarzmeerflotte der Kaiserlich russischen Marine. Die beiden Matrosen Matjuschenko (Mikhail Gomorov) und Grigorij Vakulinchuk (Aleksandr Antonov) sind Bolschewiken und diskutieren über die Notwendigkeit einer Revolution in Russland. Besonders Vakulinchuk will nicht länger warten, er weiß, dass die Zeit des Handelns gekommen ist. Grund gibt es genug, wenn man das verdorbene Fleisch ansieht, dass die Männer essen sollen. Maden sind darauf zu sehen, das Fleisch stinkt - aber der Schiffarzt gibt Enwarnung: Das Fleisch ist gut, der Koch soll eine schmackhafte Suppe davon zubereiten. Dies führt zu starkem Unmut und es kommt zur Befehlsverweigerung. Ein paar der Männer sollen wegen dieser Verweigerung erschossen werden, doch Vakulinchuk bittet das Erschießungskommando eindringlich die Waffen nicht gegen ihre Kameraden zu erheben. Die Seeleute überwältigen die Offiziere und übernehmen die Kontrolle über das Schiff. Die Meuterei ist erfolgreich, doch der charismatische Anführer Vakulinchuk wird getötet. Der Potemkin kommt im Hafen von Odessa an und die Leiche des Mannes an Land gebracht, genauer gesagt er liegt in einem Zelt mit dem Schild auf der Brust "Für einen Löffel Suppe getötet". Dies sorgt auch in Odessa für große Empörung und es kommt zu Tumulten, die sich dann auf den Odessa-Stufen zum Massaker der Kosaken gegen die unbewaffnete Zivilbevölkerung gipfelt.
Die Matrosen des Potemkin beraten, ob sie landen sollen, um der Bevölkerung zu helfen. Doch da bereits ein Admiralsgeschwader gegen sie unterwegs ist, beschließen sie, diesem entgegenzufahren. Beim Aufeinandertreffen der Schiffe kommt es zur Verbrüderung, die Revolution ist auf der Siegerstraße...

Auch im Deutschland der Weimarer Republik wurde der Film verboten und erst durch viele Schnitte wieder herausgebracht. Der Reichswehrminister verbot den Soldaten den Besuch im Kino. Auch Goebbels verbot den Film sofort, dennoch war er gleichzeitig ein Bewunderer der Machart dieses Films. Von den Regisseuren, die im dritten Reich arbeiteten, forderte er immer wieder einen "deutschen Potemkin" zu drehen. Regisseur Sergej M. Eisenstein gelang mit diesem Film eine noch heute bewegende Darstellung über die Themen "Unterdrückung" und "Rebellion".
