Ten Days That Shook the World

The film remains an interesting oddity rather than entertaining or illuminating. Indeed, watching it today can seem hard work.

Much of the montage is reductive and static, but some of the action scenes are genuinely stirring -- when he wasn't editorializing, the man really could cut film.

More interesting as education (albeit with a heavy dose of Russian propaganda) than entertainment.

This film is the work of a master, one of the few directors who have left an indelible stamp on the work of film producers all over the world.
