OLD AND NEW

'''OLD AND NEW (vt THE GENERAL LINE). Sergei Eisenstein, dir'''. USSR: Sovkino, 1929.

Classic silent, with two famous sequences relevant here: heroine Marfa Lapinka's "first encounter with a mechanized cream separator . . . and the final 'dance' of the tractors" (quoting David A. Cook, A History of Narrative Film [1981]: 182).
