New York Times - 8/10 by Mordaunt HallExcellent photography and sterling work by the eminently suitable cast are the conspicuous assets of Vsevolod Pudovkin's silent cinematic contribution.
User Review - 8/10 by Scott RVsevolod Pudovkin's Storm Over Asia is set in the late 1910s to the late 1920s in the british occupied Mongolia (In real life it was the russians) where we follow the young mongol boy Bair. The whole story starts in 1918 where many mongols have gathered in a pawn shop to sell their fur for money to by food. But when Bair gets underpaid, by the greedy capitalist pawn owner, a revolt starts and Bair has to runaway. Two years later, he have joined the partisan movement during the russian revolution which also spreed as far as Mongolia. But he's soon taken prison by the british, who discovers a neck less around his neck, and inside of that they find a piece of paper with old mongolian hand writing where it stand that Bair is a descendant of the great Genghis Khan, and decides to use him as a puppet. Storm Over Asia is a well made silence film, with the perfect amount of anger. But the religious sermonizes can it be to much of. But it's a realistic and heart breaking story. Thumbs up.
User Review - 8/10 by Martin TAction! Drama! Propaganda! Ethnography! Pudovkin's film is respectful towards the Mongolians, and he keeps things exciting with a lot of iconic imagery and radical, dynamic editing. Like a lot of Soviet cinema, it has an epic, important heft to it. The story is a little hard to follow sometimes, and there are some sluggish parts, but at its finest moments this is a pretty kickass movie.
User Review - 8/10 by Nelson CVery powerfully shot film, although I really didn't care for the political shot at capitalism, with the made-up story of Englishman cheating Mongolians on fur trades, not to mention the main story. But ignoring the propaganda and just focusing on the story telling, this is a very potent film on the clash of civilizations and the greed of an empire (film: English, actual: Russian). If I hadn't known otherwise, I would have swore this was an Eisenstein film, it uses the same style of strong imagery and dramatic montage to paint a soaring picture of a civilization different from our own. My favorite part of the film was actually near the beginning, the shots of the Mongolian hut, where the descendants of Genghis Khan live, as regular tradespeople. It made me wish for a different film, on the culture of these remarkable people, but it went a different, still interesting, direction. My only qualms are the pacing, which was sluggish at times, and the tribal music, which really grated on me after being played for what seemed like 10 minutes. The second point is pretty trivial though, and it actually was another comparison of how different civilizations use music in worship.
User Review - 8/10 by Bill MSoviet cinema, like their space program, once led the world but soon got left in the dust.
User Review - 8/10 by James HThis is one of the most visually stunning films of the silent era. It is a work of art. The acting is very well done, it is a powerful and moving story that is unforgettable and haunting. Way ahead of it's time, some of the camera techniques are amazing. Excellent production, moving score.
User Review - 8/10 by Jon AYay, a Soviet silent movie with a Mongolian hero! If you can deal with the propagandistic premise - naive nomad is mistaken for the heir of Genghs Khan, is tempted by evil Western colonialists, and finally turns into a revolutionary hero - this is an enjoyable silent with lots of visual tidbits and cliches turned upside down.
User Review - 6/10 by Andy CI watched this without reviewing, apparently, and now I don't remember anything about it. So it must be just OK. Will have to find and watch again some other time. . .
User Review - 6/10 by Mike MPudovkin here mixes up widescreen set-pieces with intimate devotional rituals, and traces of the ethnography that had become popular with "Nanook of the North" and would be seen again, seventy-odd years later, in the Mongolia-filmed "The Story of the Weeping Camel" and "The Story of the Yellow Dog".
