Há 125 anos nascia Aleksandr Dovzhenko. Acredite se quiser, mas esse é meu primeiro Dovzhenko. Eu sei, sou muito relapsa com o cinema soviético que não seja Eisenstein, Tarkovsky e Vertov. A primeira impressão foi excelente, imagens de uma poética e beleza transcendentes, só gostaria que restaurassem devidamente este filme, pois se as imagens riscadas e com oscilação de iluminação já são deslumbrantes, imagine numa restauração de 4k? DVDRip no MakingOff.

26 Nisan 2018, Ekin Fil'in muzikleri ile / Fol - olumle baslayip, olum ile biten, topragin teolojik ve toplumsal yonunu yuzlerin sinemasi ile anlatan bir film. dovzhenko'nun 1930 yilinda sinemayi ne denli iyi kavradiginin bir kaniti. uzun zamandir bu kadar genc bir film izlememistim.

Easily the most coherent of Dovzhenko's 'Ukraine Trilogy.' Really interesting to realize this was released just two years before the Holodomor.

Through a powerful, expressive piece of silent cinema, Dovzhenko loudly and proudly flaunts his anti-bourgeois leanings, using a plethora of well-edited close-ups to passionately underline the humanity of the rural working class. This is juxtaposed against the simple, pastoral beauty of the farmland and farming process, transcending the associated politics to add a greater, more timeless depth to the piece.

Viewed June 19, 2016. This quickly became the kind of movie that I feel within the hollow of my bones. I was ultra-conscious to the beauty of its imagery (If only because the print I saw lacked a soundtrack) and to the particulars of its rhythms. But, as Dovzhenko wrestles with allegiance to faith and to country, the film's concerns become universal: As the world expands, the old makes way for the new, and some just aren't able to keep up. Life's cycle will swallow you whole.

Visually stunning and poetic, yes, in a way that would make Malick weep blood. But what really makes it work even when it gets a bit heavy-handed with the message is that Dovzhenko always starts from the inside; the people grow from the land, the conflicts grow from the people, and in the end you reap what you sow.

A boldness in conception and execution that it's hard to describe, and take, but also somehow succesfull, if one witnesses the frenzied yet controlled power of the last 15 minutes. A shame you must check out your morals and brains at the door, since this is a strange mixture of poem and soviet propaganda, and as such logic is thrown out the window, and its treatment of "class enemies" is ugly, to say the least.

this communist film suggests that technology has the potential for liberation, something we don't see in movies much. but that's not really the highlight, which is instead the incredible use of montage and music, most astoundingly in the mechanisation sequence. in fact the 1997 score is so unbelievable that i almost give as much credit to alexander popov as i do to dovzhenko, and he probably contributed more than 20 points to my rating. among soviet propaganda, i prefer this to eisenstein.

The rhythmic editing and the intensity of focus on the land and on the faces of the people really give this film its power. The intertitles are hardly needed, as a result. The thinness of the story, it seems to me, is part of the point. Dovzhenko is trying to get us to feel what it's like to be in this moment, and he does an excellent job of it. That said, this film fits into montage-centered Soviet cinema of the day, and as such can't shake the stench of manipulative propaganda.

The cinematography is vibrant and the editing is, of course, focused and lively. Structurally, the film is a mess and the story is mostly dead weight, which makes for lousy propaganda, but that's not the draw of the film in today's context anyway. What it fails to communicate through the narrative is communicated through the top-notch visuals, despite some unnecessarily long, ponderous shots. It's not quite Eisenstein but it is excellent Soviet montage.
