Sergej Michajlovič Ejzenštejn Knihy

Útok na Zimný palác... zbesilý pád detského kočíka na schodoch... zábery, ktoré preslávili ich tvorcu, legendárneho režiséra Sergeja Ejzenštejna. Menej známe u nás sú jeho eseje o divadle, ktoré odkrývajú originálne myslenie veľkého umelca. Jeho Umenie mizanscény II. pozostáva z dvoch častí. Prvá je pokračovaním divadelných úvah prvého zväzku a obsahuje najmä rozbory konkrétnych divadelných textov. Druhá časť sa venuje filmu a rieši predovšetkým teoretické otázky montáže. Publikácia je preto veľmi žiadaná aj filmármi a odborníkmi z oblasti filmu. Prvý diel publikácie sa vypredal v rekordnom čase a druhý patrí takisto k bestsellerom.

Focusing on the art of film directing, this book features insights from Sergei Eisenstein, a pivotal figure in cinema history known for his versatility. Renowned for masterpieces like Battleship Potemkin and Alexander Nevsky, he also contributed significantly through essays and teaching. His reflections provide a unique perspective on the craft of filmmaking and the creative process behind directing.

"Sergei Eisenstein (1898-1948), creator of such masterpieces as Battleship Potemkin, Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible, was perhaps the greatest of all film directors. He wrote his autobiography in 1946, two years before his death, and it is a work of major importance in the light it sheds on his personality and mercurial genius. Vivid, eccentric and free-ranging, Immoral Memories is written in a style reminiscent of the brilliant visual effects of montage and dynamic progression that characterize its author's film-making technique. He recounts his life in Russia from the time of the Revolution, during which he served in the Bolshevik army as a volunteer, his travels in the West and his encounters with a remarkable medley of individuals during his long career. He gives us unique insights, too, into his triumphs and tribulations. His disappointments and despair were exemplified by the banning of the film Ivan the Terrible, Part II, which was not released until fifteen years after his death. And he never expected his autobiography to be published in Russia. Yet in answer to his query "Has there been life" he replied that there had been "life lived acutely, joyously, tormentedly, at times even sparkling, unquestionably colourful, and such a life that, I suppose, I would not exchange for another""--Publisher's description.
