Strike

"'Strike' was directed in 1925 by Sergai Eisenstein. It was Eisenstein's first feature film and an indicator of the brilliant films to follow. As with other Communist films of this period, the workers in general are the heroes. The composition and editing are spectacular, particularly with the scenes as the troop raid the apartment buildings, and the conclusion where the killing of the workers is intercut with the slaughter of cattle."
