A Film by Sergei Eisenstein
Music by Pet Shop Boys
Two cultural forces collide for a truly unique and contemporary cinematic experience with this very special centenary edition of one of the seminal Battleship Potemkin, with music performed by the inimitable Pet Shop Boys, and Dresdner Sinfoniker
An instant critical and film theory essential, Eisenstein’s film about a 1905 naval mutiny was revolutionary in both form and content. Renowned for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame perfect precision that it’s hard not to be swept along.
First revealed at a special outdoor screening in Trafalgar Square in 2004, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe’s score, performed with the Dresdner Sinfoniker and orchestrated by Torsten Rasch, blends electronic beats with orchestral grandeur.
