IMDb profile

Arsenal (Russian and Ukrainian: Арсенал), (1928), is a Soviet film by Ukrainian director Alexander Dovzhenko. Regarded by film scholar Vance Kepley, Jr. as "one of the few Soviet political films which seems even to cast doubt on the morality of violent retribution." This second film in Dovzhenko's "Ukraine Trilogy" (along with Zvenigora and Earth) was originally commissioned as a feature that would glorify the battle in 1918 between Bolshevik workers at a Kiev munitions plant and White Russian troops. Dovzhenko's eye for wartime absurdities (for example, an attack on an empty trench) anticipates later pacifist sentiments in films by Jean Renoir and Stanley Kubrick. An amazing, wondrous and deeply profound work that more than a few viewers feel to be the finest of the director's "Ukraine Trilogy", which are widely considered three of the greatest movies ever made.
