Strike Summary Sergei Eisenstein's "strike," With Orson Welles' "citizen Kane," Mark The Most Outstanding Cinematic Debuts In The History Of Film. Triggered By The Suicide Of A Worker Unjustly Accused Of Theft, A Strike Is Called By The Laborers Of A Moscow Factory. The Managers, Owner And The Czarist Government Dispatch Infiltrators In An Attempt To Break The Workers Unity. Unsuccessful, They Hire The Police And, In The Film's Most Harrowing And Powerful Sequences, The Unarmed Strikers Are Slaughtered In A Brutal Confrontation. This Edition Of "strike" Is Digitally Remastered From A Mint-condition 35mm Print Made From The Original Camera Negative And Features New Digital Stereo Music Composed And Performed By The Alloy Orchestra.

Sergei Eisenstein's debut film is more than a landmark of Soviet cinema; it's easily one of the most thrilling and inventive films to emerge from the silent era of Russian filmmaking. Eisenstein was a theater director and stage designer with some very specific ideas about the cinema, and he put them into practice telling the story of a worker's strike in pre-Revolution Russia, portraying the struggle not of leader against leader, but of the proletariat against the factory owners, enlivened by a conspiratorial subplot involving a quartet of insidious spies sent to infiltrate the ranks of labor. The subject matter is at times didactic and the acting often hammy and overwrought, but the technique is vibrant and the images striking. Eisenstein's compositions reflect the graphic boldness of contemporary poster art, mixing poetic realism with grotesque expressionism in a gripping style, and his famous montage editing style (to be perfected in his next film, Potemkin) is raw, experimental, and energetic. Eisenstein's later films are more consistent and elegant, but none of them have the sheer cinematic invention and energy of this first film. The new score composed and performed by the idiosyncratic Alloy Orchestra combines a mix of martial and mood music on synthesizer with the driving percussion of drums, wood blocks, bells, and wrecking yard of clanging metal objects--a dynamic soundtrack to one of the most auspicious directoral debuts ever. --Sean Axmaker
