Annette Michelson's erudite and incisive readings of the
revolutionary films of Sergei Eisenstein and Dziga Vertov,
collected for the first time.This posthumous volume gathers Annette
Michelson's erudite and incisive readings of the revolutionary
films of Sergei Eisenstein and Dziga Vertov, giving readers the
opportunity to track her sustained investigations into their work.
Michelson introduced American audiences to Soviet cinema in the
early 1970s, extending the interpretive paradigm she had used for
American filmmakers of the mid-twentieth century--in which she
emphasized phenomenological readings of their work--to films and
writings by Eisenstein and Vertov. Over four decades, Michelson
returned again and again to what she calls, following Eisenstein,
"intellectual cinema"--the deliberate attempt to create
philosophically informed analogues for consciousness. The volume
includes Michelson's major essays on Eisenstein's unrealized
attempts to make movies of both Marx's Capital and Joyce's Ulysses,
as well as her authoritative discussion of Vertov's 1929
masterpiece The Man with a Movie Camera. Together, the texts
demonstrate Michelson's pervasive influence as a writer and
thinker, and her role in the establishment of cinema studies as an
academic field. This collection makes these canonical texts
available for a new generation of film scholars.
