This is a special centenary edition of Sergei Eisensteins legendary Battleship Potemkin featuring the celebrated score by the British dup Pet Shop Boys.

A fixture in the critical canon almost since its premiere, Eisensteins film about a 1905 naval mutiny was revolutionary in both form and content. It is renowned for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame-perfect precision that its hard not to be swept along. First revealed at a special outdoor screening in front of an estimated 25,000 in Trafalgar Square in 2004, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowes score, performed with the Dresdner Sinfoniker and orchestrated by Torsten Rasch, blends electronic beats with orchestral grandeur to create a contemporary cinematic experience.
