Strike (PG)
A worker commits suicide following being accused of stealing. The dead man's co-workers go on strike demanding more pay and better working conditions. Management employs local hooligans to provoke the workers and destabilise their solidarity. The Strike is Eisenstein's fist full-length feature. Eisenstein believed strongly in dialectical materialism and the potential of his films to encourage transformative action. The film is a mix of poetic realism and expressionism.Running Time: 92 minutes
Director: Sergei Eisenstein
