Introduction
Celebrated as a pioneer of film art from the 1920s, Sergei Eisenstein was a Soviet director and film theorist. His films were revolutionary in their style and content, combining images of immense graphic force with editing of unprecedented inventiveness.
“The greatest and most many-sided intellect to have devoted himself to the cinema in the half-century of its history to date, is unquestionably the Russian director, S.M. Eisenstein.”
Ernest Lindgren, introduction to the published screenplay of Que Viva Mexico!, 1951
