If you loved My Friend Ivan Lapshin, try October (Ten Days that Shook the World)
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to My Friend Ivan Lapshin, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What October (Ten Days that Shook the World) is
All Quiet on the Western Front without the quiet. A dramatized account of the Bolshevik revolution, reset as a series of symbolic set pieces. A landmark of propaganda and early Soviet filmmaking.
