Das Ende von St. Petersburg: Directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin, Mikhail Doller. With Aleksandr Chistyakov, Vera Baranovskaya, Ivan Chuvelyov, V. Obolensky. A peasant comes to St. Petersburg to find work. He unwittingly helps in the arrest of an old friend who is now a labor leader. The unemployed man is arrested and sent to fight in World War I. After three years, he returns to rebel.
“Pudovkin makes use of revolutionary techniques, especially montage, as he narrates the story of the storming of the Winter Palace in Skt. Petersburg, 1917. The plot centres on two families, one rural and one urban, whose paths cross as they engage passionately in the uprising. The film is a masterpiece in silent film narration.”
