TRAILER: Cinema Release: Battleship Potemkin

Check out the trailer below for Battleship Potemkin, which is released in cinemas on 29th April 2011.

Eisenstein’s influential masterpiece about the navy mutiny that sparked off the Russian Revolution premiered at the Bolshoi Theatre on 24th December 1925 and was released in the Soviet Union in January 1926. It was famously banned in the UK by the BBFC until 1954 when it was released to UK cinemas with an X certificate. Now Battleship Potemkin is to be reissued in a restoration by Deutsche Kinemathek, with Edmund Meisel's original score, played by the 55-piece Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg and conducted by Helmut Imig.
