Based on a mutiny in Odessa during the 1905 Revolution, the film is regarded as a pioneering milestone in the development of world cinema - especially Eisenstein's bold camera-work and breathtaking editing. This book investigates the production, context and critical reception of the film and the people who made it and provides an analysis of the film itself and its place in Russian and world cinema. Written by a major authority on Eisenstein, this lively companion to The Battlehip Potemkin will be welcomed by film enthusiasts alike" -- BOOK BLURBISBN: 9781860643934Contents: -- illustrations -- acknowledgments -- note on transliteration -- credits 1: production history -- 2: analysis -- part 1: men and maggots -- part 2: drama on the quarterdeck -- part 3: an appeal from the dead -- part 4: the odessa steps -- part 5: meeting the squadron -- themes and variations -- 3: reception -- further reading -- further viewing --ID2: 91

Summary: "Superbly translated from the definitive Russian texts, and copiously annotated, Volume 1 documents the complex course of Eisenstein's writings during the revolutionary years prior to the establishment of Socialist Realism as orthodox Soviet aesthetic doctrine. This was also the period of Eisenstein's great silent masterpieces, The Strike, The Battleship Potemkin, October and The General Line, and of his controversial sojourns in Hollywood and Mexico. The writings in this first volume give a picture of Eisenstein the committed socialist artist, passionately engaged in the debates over the art forms of the future, but also of Eisenstein the humorist and Eisenstein the profoundly innovative aesthetic thinker." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Translated from the RussianISBN: 9781848853553Contents: -- general editor's preface -- introduction -- translator's note -- abbreviations -- 1922 -- 1: Sergei Yutkevich and Eisenstein: The Eighth art.

Sergei Eisenstein: selected works : volume 2, Towards aTheory of Montage / edited by Michael Glenny and Richard Taylor London: I.B. Tauris, 2010.

Summary: "The name of Sergei Eisenstein has long been synonymous with the idea of montage, as exemplified in his silent classics such as The Strike (1925), The Battleship Potemkin (1925), and October (1927). In the 1930s his style changed, partly to accomodate the arrival of sound, and his ideas on audio-visual counterpoint developed. Between 1937 and 1940 he elaborated his ideas on montage in a series of essays, most of which remained unpublished until after his death and which are published in English for the first time inTowards a Theory of Montage. Collectively these essays present the essence of Eisenstein's thinking on cinema and aesthetics more generaaly and reveal him as one of the most significant philosophers of art of the twentieth century." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Translated from RussianISBN: 9781848853560Contents: -- general editor's preface -- Michael Glenny: an appreciation -- note on sources -- introduction: Geoffrey Nowell-Smith -- on the story of 'Montage 1937' -- foreword -- 1: draft of 'introduction' -- part one: montage in single set-up cinema -- 2: montage 1937 -- 3: montage and architecture -- 4: Yermolova -- part two: montage in multiple set-up cinema -- 5: laocoon -- 6: Pushkin the Montageur: 'The battle against the pechenegs' and 'poltava' The iron cannon-balls -- part three: sound-film montage -- 7: [rhythm] -- 8: 'The girl like a ray of light' -- 9:on colour -- 10: unity in image -- 11: Tolstoy's 'Anna Karenina' - the races -- 12: montage 1938 -- 13: Vertical montage -- notes -- index --

In this volume, we experience Eisenstein's reaction to this hostile environement, as film-maker, theorist and teacher, from his public obeisance over Bezhin Meadow to his private defiance with Ivan the Terrible.
