'strike' is an improbably self-assured and strong debut from sergei eisenstein- a talent whose impact on the world cinema has proven to be as powerful as it has been lasting.
the film's dramatic force and an incredible momentum are earth-shattering, and announce eistenstein's remarkable capacity as a director.
particular compliments must be paid to the film's climax; it is a masterpiece of inter-cutting between scenes, and its powerful thematic symbolism exemplifies a brilliant use of visual metaphor that would become one of cinema's most exciting story telling devices.
