Scott’s desire to tell people what movies to watch knows no bounds. He’s decided to create a series on here devoted to profiling directors and creating guides to their films. This week’s director is… Sergei Eisenstein.
Highly recommended: Strike, Battleship Potemkin (top 100), October (partially directed by Eisenstein), Alexander Nevsky, Ivan the Terrible Part I, Ivan the Terrible Part II, ¡Que Viva Mexico!
Recommended: The General Line (partially directed by Eisenstein)
Worth a look: Sentimental Romance (short film; partially directed by Eisenstein), Ivan the Terrible Part III (fragment from unfinished film)
Next week’s director is… Elia Kazan
