You’ve seen the Odessa Steps even if you’ve never actually seen the Odessa Steps.
The horrifying, groundbreaking film sequence is among the most famous scenes crafted by Soviet filmmaking pioneer Sergei Eisenstein, who was honored with his own Google Doodle today (Jan. 22) on what would have been his 120th birthday. The fourth act in Eisenstein’s five-act 1925 silent masterpiece Battleship Potemkin, the Odessa Steps has inspired countless movie scenes in the decades since and stands as a stunning example of the director’s ingenuity.
