He considers the director's major film releases alongside his other works, including his uncompleted film projects and his copious writings and drawings, to bring to light the singular personality of the subject and the unique circumstances in which his work was produced and received.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA wide-ranging, deeply-researched and yet accessible account of a key figure in twentieth-century film, this book will appeal to the broad audience for film history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pushkin House Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57280925237626,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0510\/3406\/3009\/files\/9781861893673.jpg?v=1789723553","url":"https:\/\/shop.pushkinhouse.org\/products\/sergei-eisenstein-by-mike-omahony","provider":"Pushkin House Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
