Segodnya (1929)
8/10
Soviet documentary compares them to the US
5 June 2021
TODAY (TRACTORS OR CANNONS) No subtlety, but a very gung-ho look at the advantages of the workers' paradise. Factories, farmers, schools and happy workers completing their 5-year plans in 4-years.

Included is an amazing critique of capitalsm, using footage of America up to 1929. We even see pro-red soapbox speakers promoting communism on street corners. Paranoia is demonstrated through persistent hints that capitalists are preparing an attack in Russia.

Silent, with a driving symphonic score.
