"soviet cinema needs more protagonists" --an american
@sarahzedig I wrote a really cringey analysis of the carriage scene almost a decade ago, and the main takeaway I had from revisiting it was "damn I've come a long way as a critic, and also battleship Potemkin fucking slaps"
@sarahzedig the scene with the meat and the worms should've had a burger with the wrong kind of toppings instead
anyway i wrote a little review of potemkin, reflecting on the communist ideology inherent to montage theory and how often that's omitted from conversations about sergei eisenstein's work
