Russian cinema gave the world the grammar of film editing itself, through the Soviet montage movement and directors like Eisenstein and Vertov. That tradition of bold, politically charged filmmaking cast a long shadow over everything that followed, from the poetic realism of Tarkovsky to post-Soviet dramas wrestling with a changed nation. See what Macca has made of it all below.
Rating: 3.0★
