Vsevolod Pudovkin was a contemporary of Sergei Eisenstein but, while the latter's list of notable films continues well into the sound era, Pudovkin's legacy consists almost entire of the three consecutive works he produced from 1926 to 1928, collected in an essential new Flicker Alley Blu-ray under the grouping "The Bolshevik Trilogy." Pudovkin actually continued directing for years after Eisenstein did (owing to having lived longer) but these three films – Mother, The End of St. Petersburg and Storm over Asia – are more than enough on their own to argue that his talents are no less worthy of consideration and praise.
The Bolshevik trilogy is undeniable propaganda but it also feels truly passionate, making it all the more persuasive. Part of Pudovkin's talent lies in his ability to position individual characters as both audience surrogates and instructors by example.
