 Biography for Sergei M. Eisenstein
Perhaps best identified as the Soviet Union's D. Griffith, this cinematic pioneer is remembered for his classic depictions of events leading up to the 1917 Russian Revolution; these include the silent films Strike (1924), Battleship Potemkin (1925), and October (aka Ten Days That Shook the World 1928).
Though Eisenstein wanted to make films for the common man, his intense use of symbolism and metaphor in what he called "intellectual montage" sometimes lost his audience.
He later theorized that this style of editing worked in a similar fashion to Marx's dialectic.
