The Eisenstein Reader
Book (italiano):
Legendary director Sergei Eisenstein has unquestionably emerged as cinema's most influential theorist and author of some of the most important aesthetic writings of the twentieth century. For the first time in one volume, <i>The Eisenstein Reader</i> presents in concise, chronological form his most significant work--including his famous theories of montage and articles on subjects as diverse as sound, film language, and Russian history. The selections range from early writings on his great silent masterpieces <i>The Strike, October</i> and <i>The Battleship Potemkin</i>, to later works, hatched in the increasingly hostile and paranoid environment of Stalin's Soviet Union.<br> Drawn from the acclaimed four-volume <i>Selected Works,</i> this collection, which includes a new introduction and explanatory notes by Richard Taylor as well as many illustrations, further illuminates the startling originality, diversity, and power of the greatest and most flamboyant of all Russian filmmakers.
