“Declared the greatest film of all time at the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair and one of only two films to have appeared on all of Sight & Sound’s critics’ polls (1952–2012) Battleship Potemkin is one of the true masterpieces in the history of cinema. Widely censored as much out of fear of the perceived influence of its ideas as for any contentious material on screen the film would later be banned out right in Britain until 1954 and X-rated until 1987.”
