Battleship Potemkin (1925)
Eisenstein's 1925 Soviet propaganda film. The Odessa Steps sequence remains the most-imitated montage in cinema.
Aleksandr Antonov played Vakulinchuk in Battleship Potemkin, the sailor whose death triggers the mutiny and whose body on the Odessa quay becomes the film’s rallying image. He worked with Eisenstein across several productions.
