Movie poster Battleship Potemkin 1925

This is a Soviet film poster for Battleship Potemkin (Броненосец Потемкин),, created in 1925 by the graphic artist A. Lavinsky. The film, directed by Sergei Eisenstein, is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of world cinema and a landmark of montage filmmaking. The poster shows a sailor shouting against the backdrop of the massive battleship’s guns, symbolizing both the uprising of 1905 and the revolutionary spirit of the Soviet people. The bold yellow background, geometric lines of rigging, and strong contrasts emphasize dynamism and power. The film dramatizes the mutiny of sailors aboard the Potemkin and became an international symbol of resistance and social struggle. This poster remains one of the most iconic examples of Soviet Constructivist cinema art.
