Battleship Potemkin

For eight decades, Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 masterpiece has remained one of the most influential silent films of all time. This all-new restoration restores dozens of missing shots, all 146 title cards, and Edmund Meisel's definitive 1926 score, returning the film to a form as close to its creator's bold vision as has been seen since the film's triumphant Moscow premiere.

“To see "Potemkin" in its restored glory, complete with Edmund Meisel's pulse-pounding score recorded by a 55-piece orchestra, is to be astonished anew at what a dazzling piece of virtuoso filmmaking this is. Packed with movement, incident and beauty, this is no fusty museum piece but a thrilling jolt of pure cinematic adrenaline.” (Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times)

"For visual and aural quality, the Kino [restoration] is now the one to beat." (Dave Kehr, New York Times)
