Describing editing as cinema's formal and aesthetic soul because of
its ability to represent time, in this wide-ranging essay Jacques
Aumont surveys the theory and practice of editing and montage from
early cinema to the digital era. Aumont addresses the Soviet
filmmaker-theorists of the 1920s, of course - he is a translator of
Eisenstein and the author of a book on Eisenstein's montage - but
also brings into the discussion contemporary directors such as Jia
Zhangke, Abbas Kiarostami, Aleksandr Sokurov, Kathryn Bigelow and
Lisandro Alonso, with stops along the way for the ideas of Andre
Bazin, Jean-Luc Godard and Pier Paolo Pasolini. This original essay
is essential reading by one of the leading film scholars at work in
the world today and a rare opportunity for English speakers to
enjoy his work. This expanded and revised edition adds a dozen
pages to the original volume. "We have entered into a period in
which the reign of vision has become contested by that of the
image, with the result that editing has changed nature, because its
job is no longer to regulate a succession of shots as much as it is
to regulate a succession of images. And while the shot has a
responsibility towards reality, the image is responsible only to
itself." - Jacques Aumont
