The New Babylon (Russian: Новый Вавилон; translit. Novyy Vavilon; alt. title: Штурм неба; translit. Shturm neba) is a 1929 silent film written and directed by Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg. The film deals with the 1871 Paris Commune and the events leading to it, and follows the encounter and tragic fate of two lovers separated by the barricades of the Commune.
Composer Dmitri Shostakovich wrote his first film score for this movie. In the fifth reel of the score he quotes the revolutionary anthem, "La Marseillaise" (representing the Commune), juxtaposed contrapuntally with the famous "Can-can" from Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld.[3]
Footage from The New Babylon was included in Guy Debord's feature film The Society of the Spectacle (1973).
