BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN WITH SCORE BY PET SHOP BOYS
To mark the centenary of Sergei Eisenstein’s legendary silent Battleship Potemkin, a special edition of the film – in a restored version made by Deutsche Kinemathek, with the celebrated score by Tennant and Lowe of Pet Shop Boys – will be released for the first time in cinemas! 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 renowned for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame-perfect precision that it’s hard not to be swept along. The set-piece massacre on the Odessa Steps still packs a sledgehammer punch. First revealed at a free outdoor live performance and screening in front of an estimated 25,000 people in London’s Trafalgar Square on 12 September 2004, Pet Shop Boys’ score, performed with the Dresdner Sinfoniker conducted by Jonathan Stockhammer with orchestrations by Torsten Rasch, blends electronic beats with orchestral grandeur to create a rousing contemporary cinematic experience.DramaPT1H15MU2025-08-31Aleksandr Antonov
