Montage enters into a dialogue with the cinema, probing and playing
with its language of motion and stillness, continuity and
discontinuity, constraint and openness, time and duration.
Comprised of a series of elegantly-written and intellectually
vibrant essays, Sam Rohdie's book carefully expresses his ideas and
arguments in a manner free from the complexities of contemporary
theory and cultural criticism. As much a book written with the
cinema as about it, Montage explores associative and comparative
possibilities in the films of directors such as Takeshi Kitano,
Jean Renoir, D.W. Griffith, Howard Hawks, Lev Kulsehov, Sergei
Eisenstein and Alfred Hitchcock. It offers new and fascinating
perspectives on mise en scene, framing, shots, and narrative
variation. In combining the sensitive analysis of film forms and
structures with an awareness of their historical and artistic
relation to other art forms, it also elucidates an appreciation of
montage aesthetics that is attentive to the influences of
photography, painting and other arts. Montage is a book that will
enrich our ways of seeing, understanding, and enjoying the cinema.
