"The Earth", Dovzhenko's last silent movie, and it is also his best. With a simple story of a young farmer from an Ucranian village, Dovzhenko works the lyrical expression of an universal theme: the life circle of a person. The movie is developed with a constant counterpoint between pictures of life and death, being the images of death and social changes extremely powerful. The arrival of a tractor is the turning point of all the social changes in the farm, as it is gradually shown in the movie. Yes, it is a movie from former USSR, but that shouldn't make us build a preconceptcion of the movie (in fact this movie was censored by the USSR). In short, one sentence for this movie: Death not as an end, but as a natural process. Watch it!
