## Description

This avant-garde masterpiece from renowned Ukranian director Alexander Dovzhenko employs the most complex and elliptical montage style of any Soviet masters in this treatment of events from the Ukranian Civil War. Based on an actual incident from 1913, the story concerns a group of Bolsheviks who battle counter-revolutionary nationalist troops in Kiev, putting up an Alamo-like defense of their cause inside the city's "Arsenal" munitions plant. Outnumbered by the nationalist troops, the defenders demonstrate their revolutionary spirit in the climactic battle which displays a dazzling mixture of traditional Ukranian folklore with modernist film techniques for a dazzling collage!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A great epic that needs preservation work
  

*by R***I on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2014*

This is about one of the greatest events in Soviet history: the defense of the Kiev arsenal against anti-Soviet forces. Great honors were bestowed on the defenders, including the Badge for the Defense of the Kiev Arsenal. A must see for Russian history scholars. However, this version could use a cleaner sound track and more subtitles to explain events for the non specialist. Then they could understand it as one of history's great last stands like Westerplatte or the Alamo. I got the impression somebody deliberately reworked the subtitles to reflect today's Russia-Ukraine conflict so as not to offend anybody. There is too much historical revisionism so as not to offend somebody's precious feelings. Neither the Ukrainians or Russians have a great record when it comes to other people's rights. Let it be. Learn the history. It is what it is.

    Bizzare propoganda film from the soviet union between the wars.
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2013*

If you like those weird German films from between the world wars, weird art films, horror films, like "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" then you might like this. Its silent, from the USSR in the late 20's, B+W, with odd imagery and very surreal. It was supposed to be a soviet propaganda film, but I would say its more a kind of film noire art film. Stark and tragic from a stark and tragic era.Don't watch it if you are depressed or on drugs ! From the same era as "Nostaferatu". Spooky. Fortunately the film includes a film historian's commentary you can listen to if you like, and I would suggest that one use it, as it is very informative to help put the techniques and intent of the director into perspective, otherwise one might think a chaotic psycho made this film.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great old Soviet film
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 12, 2014*

One of the classics, a gorgeous film that only in one way is propaganda. The quality of the transfer is good, too.
