The film remains an interesting oddity rather than entertaining or illuminating. Indeed, watching it today can seem hard work.

Much of the montage is reductive and static, but some of the action scenes are genuinely stirring -- when he wasn't editorializing, the man really could cut film.

This film is the work of a master, one of the few directors who have left an indelible stamp on the work of film producers all over the world.

Ten Days That Shook the World is replete with magnificent scenes of mass movement, with amazingly observed characters (a gallery of types that can never be forgotten), and with extremely striking and beautiful camera shots.

Few films are as full of cinematographic suggestions as October, still admirable today. [Full Review in Spanish]

No book, picture or play could have given a more realistic impression of those days of bloodshed and horror: one was literally exhausted by the emotions experienced in watching it, for there was no light relief and the realism was relentlessly sustained.

May 12, 2010[font=Century Gothic][color=red]October(or Ten Days that Shook the World) is a powerful, passionate, exciting reenactment of the 1917 Revolution from the fall of the Tsar to the storming of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. This was directed by Sergei Eisenstein on the tenth anniversary of the Soviet Revolution. I'm not an expert on Russian history, so I cannot really comment on its accuracy but I can say that it does favor Stalin's worldview - it does slight Trotsky at one point and I think it's unfair to think of Kerensky wanting to be a new Tsar, when his worst sin was not pulling Russia out of World War I, which would have given the country a chance to recover.[/color][/font]Walter M Super Reviewer

Apr 01, 2010Powerful. Even though it's a reenactment of the October Revolution, it has the sense of a documentary, and it fully captures the spirit and the most important events during this important period in Russian History.Liolia K Super Reviewer

Apr 23, 2008I imagine I would of enjoyed this more if I had better knowledge of the Russian Revolution. Still, this is very nicely edited and very much feels like a documentary. Anyone seriously interested in film and the birth of modern cinema should see this. I just wish that I didn't have to miss out on some of the dialogue (white subtitles on white background does not work!)Emily B Super Reviewer

Dec 21, 2007The struggle of socialism over capitalism, the fall of the burgueois power and ten days that shook the world, especially in the Soviet Union.Editing and directing at their maximum capacities, ranking among the top of any list of silent celluloid collaborations. Another propagandistic masterpiece by extremely patriotic and genious Eisenstein. 99/100Edgar C Super Reviewer
