"This is one of the most important studies of Eisenstein to have appeared in any language. Acclaimed as the 'greatest filmmaker of all time,' Eisenstein is a figure of mythic dimension. The recent discovery and publication (in Russian) of thousands of pages of his theoretical writings have led to the realization that he was also one of the prolific and most consistent theoreticians of cinema. Jacques Aumont, a leading French film scholar ..."

Indeed, the mechanical reproduction of images was a central preoccupation of twentieth-century philosopher Walter Benjamin, who recognized that film would become a vehicle not only for the entertainment of the masses but also for consumerism and even communism and fascism. In this volume, experts in film studies and art history take u ..."

Does this mean that film has evolved into a larger and modern form? More radically, is it doomed to disappear or has it already disappeared due to the benefit of new technologies? French text.
