A classic on the aesthetics of filmmaking from the pioneering Soviet
director who made Battleship Potemkin. Though he completed only a
half-dozen films, Sergei Eisenstein remains one of the great names in
filmmaking, and is also renowned for his theory and analysis of the
medium. Film Form collects twelve essays, written between 1928 and
1945, that demonstrate key points in the development of Eisenstein’s
film theory and in particular his analysis of the sound-film medium.
Edited, translated, and with an introduction by Jay Leyda, this volume
allows modern-day film students and fans to gain insights from the man
who produced classics such as Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible
and created the renowned “Odessa Steps” sequence.
