Summary:

"This text aims to provide fresh insights into Eisenstein's films and writings. It examines the multiple concerns within which his films evolved and Eisenstein's appropriation of all of world culture as his source. Like Eisenstein himself, Anne Nesbet is particularly interested in the possibilities of visual image making and each chapter addresses the problem of his image-based thinking from a different perspective. Each chapter also offers a fundamentally new interpretation of the films and writings that make up his oeuvre."-- Provided by publisher.
