Film Form: Essays In Film Theory

From Sergei Eisenstein, a legendary pioneer in filmmaking and director of  Battleship Potemkin, Film Form  collects twelve essays written between 1928 and 1945 that demonstrate key points in the development of his film theory and in particular his analysis of the sound-film medium.   "By turns savagely polemical and whimsically humorous...Eisenstein's last book, like all his writings, is on fire with imagination...Jay Leyda, well-known authority on Eisenstein's work, has done an excellently thorough job of editing and translating."??—??
