  femina defenestrābilis

  A film that takes literary stylistic devices & visually translates them: antanaclasis (clusters of key images rhythmically replayed in different, contrary ways; New Babylon is a general store, a place of corruption with everything on sale, the post-uprisal failure), polyptoton (variations on the ‘master’ theme), epistrophe ("That’s what the Commune promised!"), anaphora (cyclical calls to end shifting enemies'lives),

  Interesting to see what sort of films were made in Soviet Russia at that time. The music by Shostakovich is fabulous. Buy the Music CD, not the DVD!

  Truly mind-blowing. An enormous masterpiece. A lesson in editing. One of the best silent films I have ever seen.
