Earth / Bezhin Meadow
"Earth" - Alexander Dovzhenko, one of the four giants of early Soviet revolutionary cinema (along with Eisenstein, Pudovkin and Vertov), shattered the film world with his silent masterpiece "Earth," even though few outside the director's native Ukraine connected with its specific references to place and topic (Stalin's program of industrial collectivization). But the deep feeling and poetic imagery of this film transcend locale and era, move strong men to tears and have frequently won it a place on critics' lists of the greatest films of all time. "Bezhin Meadow" - The feud between a Soviet father and son over the collectivization of state-affiliated farms after the formation of the Soviet Union leads to tragic events in this unfinished and partially reconstructed film from Sergei Eisenstein.
