SERGEI EISENSTEIN AND HIS FILMS

Published in the Eisenstein Cine Club Brochure, 1983

With Strike Eisenstein revolutionized the Soviet cinema. The absence of a so-called plot or story or a central character was unheard of at that time. A pre-Revolution strike was the theme of Strike — how the strike begins and how it is crushed by the employers by the use of force on workers. Working on this simple scheme, Eisenstein imparted great dramatic force to the film. In his choice of types, mis- en-scene and details and by his editing and composition. The editing style he created, he called the Montage of Attractions. As he conceived it, every shot in the film should go on holding, surprising and moving the mind of the auditor by itself or in conjunction with the shots preceding or following.
