The battleship Potemkin by S. M. Eisenstein (URSS-1925-1h05) Odessa, a Soviet port city must face a revolt caused by famine suffered by the sailors of the Potemkin battleship. Quickly censored because of its political power, this film remains modern through its masterful direction highlighting the power of revolt. It is one of the greatest masterpieces of cinema. The musical version by Edmund Meisel will be followed at 9pm by that of the Pet Shop Boys, set to music in 2026.
