A special centenary edition of Sergei Eisenstein’s legendary Battleship Potemkin featuring music by Pet Shop Boys.
A fixture in the critical canon almost since its premiere, Eisenstein’s film about a 1905 naval mutiny was revolutionary in both form and content. Battleship Potemkin is celebrated for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame-perfect precision that it’s hard not to be swept along.
First revealed at a special outdoor screening in front of an estimated 25,000 in Trafalgar Square in 2004, the Tennant/Lowe score, performed with the Dresdner Sinfoniker and orchestrated by Torsten Rasch, blends electronic beats with orchestral grandeur to create a contemporary cinematic experience.
