Also known as Ten Days That Shook the World, this is a prome example of the Soviet revolutionary cinema, in which kinesthetic dynamism combines with the visial beauty of the juxtaposed shots to transccend the propagandistic tone of the films narrative. The climatic montage sequences still retain thier invigorating pereceptual impact, while the documentary like images of the Bolshevik victory reveal the essence of the Russian Civil War of 1917, around St. Petersburg.
