  Dovzhenko’s Earth (1930) is a must see. Nice to see that you have seen a Raoul Walsh film recently. In this case it is “The Roaring Twenties” I read somewhere that it was ranked on a list of great obscure gangster films somewhere along with Robert Aldrich’s “The Grissom Gang”

    I too love Earth — a beautiful visual poem and a hymn to the land and the people who work it. Unfortunately, it tends to go over the least well out of the four movies I show in my rotating “Soviet Montage” slot (along with Potemkin, Man with the Movie Camera and Alexander Nevsky).

    Thanks, Dave. I’m not sure where you live, but if you’re near Chicago, you could audit a class. Or, if you’re ever visiting the area, you could sit in as a guest.
