This film is definitely a piece of political propaganda on behalf of Communism. However, whether or not you agree with the film's politics or with propaganda in general, it is an important work in the history of cinema.
Sergei Eisenstein was one of the greatest film-makers of the silent era. His theories of film editing and "montage" (juxtaposing different images to heighten dramatic or emotional impact) give the film it's impact.
The film's story deals with a strike by the workers of a Russian factory in 1912. It's told through striking images, camera angles and, sometimes excessive symbolism.
This film is a must-see for anyone studying film or interested in the history of world cinema.
