After achieving great artistic success with his first two films (Strike and Potemkin), Russian director Sergei Eisenstein was commissioned by Sovkino, the Soviet film agency, to make a film commemorating the ten year anniversary of the Russian Revolution. The result was October, arguably his most bold and innovative film. Eisenstein?s innovative, radical use of intellectual montage and imagery (to stimulate the thoughts and emotions of the audience) creates an almost overwhelming cinematic experience.

Yasujiro Ozu?s quiet, minimalist style looks deceptively simple, but his films contain an exquisite grace and emotional power that belie this deceptive simplicity. His first masterpiece was this charming, boisterous and ultimately quite moving film, with its keen observations on family relationships and Japanese middle class society (Ozu?s favorite subjects). Two young boys and their parents move to the Tokyo suburbs after their father receives a promotion. The boys overcome the neighborhood bullies and immerse themselves in the childhood rituals of their new little world.
