Friedrich will become famous soon enough
Just watched last week Serguéi Eisenstein's "The Potemkin battleship". Wow! For a 1927, propaganda film it is more than amazing. It's simply shockening and incredibly beautiful!

The scene of the pram going down Odessa's stairs is dramatic as hell —but Brian De Palma ruined it in his version in "The Untouchables"... [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img]

Watch it. If you haven't watched it, then you just haven't watched what a real film is.
