Sergei Eisenstein

Master Of The Montage

The hieroglyphic language of the cinema is capable of expressing any concept, any idea of class, any political or tactical slogan, without recourse to the help of a rather suspect dramatic or psychological past.
- Sergei Eisenstein

Without the artistic mind of Sergei Eisenstein, I'm sure the montage would have been discovered, of course, but to have it come to pass so early and so perfectly at the hands of this innovator, certainly turned baby steps into strides of certainty.
