Overview
A major new study of Sergei Eisenstein delivers fresh, in-depth analyses of the iconic filmmaker's body of workWhat can we still learn from Sergei Eisenstein? Long valorized as the essential filmmaker of the Russian Revolution and celebrated for his indispensable contributions to cinematic technique, Eisenstein's relevance to contemporary culture is far from exhausted. InMovement, Action, Image, Montage, Luka Arsenjuk considers the auteur as a filmmaker and a theorist, drawing on philosophers such as Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Gilles Deleuze-as well as Eisenstein's own untranslated texts-to reframe the way we think about the great director and his legacy.
Focusing on Eisenstein's unique treatment of the foundational concepts of cinema-movement, action, image, and montage-Arsenjuk invests each aspect of the auteur's art with new significance for the twenty-first century. Eisenstein's work and thought, he argues, belong as much to the future as the past, and both can offer novel contributions to long-standing cinematic questions and debates.
Movement, Action, Image, Montagebrings new elements of Eisenstein's output into academic consideration, by means ranging from sustained and comprehensive theorization of Eisenstein's practice as a graphic artist to purposeful engagement with his recently published, unfinished bookMethod, still unavailable in English translation. This tour de force offers new and significant insights on Eisenstein's oeuvre-the films, the art, and the theory-and is a landmark work on an essential filmmaker.
