Offered here is a like-new TWO DVD-BOXED SET of the most famous of all Russian silent films, BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN, released in 1925 and directed by the famed Sergei Eisenstein. We viewed both discs only one time and they play perfectly with no problems. The outer jacket and box are both in the same perfect condition as when we purchased this boxed set.

Special features include: "Tracing Battleship Potemkin," a 42-minute documentary on the making and restoration of the film; the restored film with newly-translated English intertitles; the restored film with original Russian intertitles (and optional English subtitles); the original 1926 Edmund Meisel score, performed by the Deutsches Filmorchestra, presented in 5.1 Stereo Surround; photo gallery.

For eight decades, Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 masterpiece has remained the most influential silent film of all time. Yet each successive generation has been Battleship Potemkin subject to censorship and recutting, its unforgettable power diluted in unauthorized public domain editions from dubious sources. Until now, Kino is proud to join the Deutsche Kinematek in association with Russia's Goskinofilm, the British Film Institute, Bundesfilm Archive Berlin, and the Munich Film Museum in presenting this all new restoration of Battleship Potemkin. Dozens of missing shots have been replaced, and all 146 title cards restored to Eisenstein's specifications. Edmund Meisel's definitive 1926 score, magnificently rendered by the 55-piece Deutsches Filmorchestra in 5.1 Stereo Surround, returns Eisenstein's masterwork to a form as close to its creator's bold vision as has been since the film's triumphant 1925 Moscow premiere.
