Renowned for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame-perfect precision that it’s hard not to be swept along, Battleship Potemkin returns to cinemas to mark its 100th anniversary.
A fixture in the critical canon almost since its premiere, Eisenstein’s 1925 silent film about a 1905 naval mutiny was revolutionary in both form and content: its set-piece massacre on the Odessa Steps still packs a sledgehammer punch.
First revealed at a free outdoor live performance and screening in front of an estimated 25,000 people in London’s Trafalgar Square on 12 September 2004, the Pet Shop Boys’ score – performed with the Dresdner Sinfoniker conducted by Jonathan Stockhammer with orchestrations by Torsten Rasch – blends electronic beats with orchestral grandeur to create a rousing contemporary cinematic experience.
