Question

This film’s final scene of men waving and throwing their hats is freeze-framed in a 2022 Radu Jude film that explores what happened in Romania after this film’s conclusion. A classic scene from this film is parodied in a sequence involving a vacuum cleaner in Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. A still of a weeping nurse from this film inspired a Francis Bacon painting. This film was commissioned (20[1])on the success of the director’s earlier film, (*) Strike. A man without legs flees during an iconic “intellectual montage” in Act IV of this film, a scene that also shows a baby carriage tottering down the Odessa Steps. For 10 points, name this classic film of Soviet cinema directed by Sergei Eisenstein that dramatizes a mutiny on the title vessel. ■END■

ANSWER: Battleship Potemkin [or Battleship Potyomkin] (Jude’s film is titled The Potemkinists.)
