Viewing Notes

It’s been over 30 years since I last watched this but the Odessa Steps sequence is still just as brilliant and upsetting.

The print quality on Amazon Prime leaves something to be desired. It’d probably be worth picking up the Kino Blu-ray of this. So many movies, so little money and time.
