New Trailer and Poster for the Pet Shop Boys Scored BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN
The silent classic returns to cinemas with a score by Pet Shop Boys.

To mark the centenary of Sergei Eisenstein's legendary silent, Battleship Potemkin, the film has been newly restored and will return to UK/ROI cinemas accompanied by a score by Pet Shop Boys.

A fixture in the critical canon almost since its premiere, Eisenstein's film about a 1905 naval mutiny was revolutionary in both form and content. Battleship Potemkin is renowned for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame-perfect precision that it's hard not to be swept along. The set-piece massacre on the Odessa Steps still packs a sledgehammer punch.

Battleship Potemkin is in UK/ROI cinemas from August 22nd. September 5th sees the release of the BFI's Blu-ray package of the film, containing both a Blu-ray disc and a CD of the score, along with extra features and an illustrated booklet. Simultaneously, Parlophone will release the score on remastered CD and on vinyl for the first time on a double LP.

Check out the new trailer and poster below.
