Considered a masterpiece of international cinema, "Battleship Potemkin" is a 1925 Soviet silent film directed by Sergei Eisenstein. It dramatizes a 1905 mutiny that occurred on the Russian battleship Potemkin. The film's most famous sequence depicts a massacre where Cossack soldiers gun down civilians on the steps leading down to the port. Officials banned "Battleship Potemkin" in Britain, France and other countries for its incendiary anti-authoritarian message.
