43. Storm Over Asia (Potomok Chingis-Khana) (1928)

Directed By V. I. Pudovkin


Synopsis

I just wrote a fucking huge synopsis followed by a huge fucking review and firefox crashed! Thanks God! If I believed in you I'd turn Satanic! Guy gets put as puppet ruler of Mongolia because he is a supposed descendent of Genghis Khan, he is not a puppet and Brits get buggered hard.

Review

ARRRGGH! I've already written it! Here goes a very abridged version of what might have been one of the greatest pieces of criticism that no one will ever know!

Film could be shorter, otherwise good. Very Modern perspective on the image of the "native"... blah blah something about it not delineating itself as either a piece of fiction or a documentary.

Something about how it is very well acted and edited and how Pudovkin is a great bloke. But film could have been better with 30 mins cut out of it's 2 hour long length. Buy it at Amazon UK or US and shit.

Final Grade

7/10

Trivia

Fuck, shit, fuck, shit, fuck ... ad nauseam.
