Mother (1926)

Soviet Union
Feature Film
Original Title: Мать
Director: Vsevolod Pudovkin
Writers: Nathan Zarkhi, Maxim Gorky
Cinematographer: Anatoli Golovnya
Composer: Tikhon Khrennikov (1968)
Cast: Vera Baranovskaya, Nikolai Batalov, Aleksandr Chistyakov, Anna Zemtsova, Ivan Koval-Samborsky, N. Vidonov, Aleksandr Savitsky

A mother finds her loyalties divided between her striking worker (and potential revolutionary) son and her strike breaking husband, who dies during a skirmish between the two sides; but when her son is arrested on weapons charges, she firmly attaches her allegiance to the revolting workers, in Pudovkin’s often powerful if occasionally vaguely corny look at the failed revolution of 1905.
