Another great Soviet silent movie. In silent movies the most important thing is the visual scenes and this excellent movie has them in a very expressive way mainly the face expressions of all the people in closeup. This is the story of Timosh, an ukrainian soldier that after surviving a train accident comes back home by the end of World War I and finds the Soviet revolution in progress but with much inside struggle between nationalists and collectivists. He begins to suport the Bolsheviks which brings him the opposition of local authorities. It is a stupendous brilliant movie that keeps the permanent attention of al viewers.
