Zusammenfassung "Savage Junctures" provides fresh insights into Eisenstein's films and writings. It examines the multiple contexts within which his films evolved and Eisenstein's appropriation of all of world culture as his source.

This is a major new contribution to studies in Soviet cinema and culture and to the field of film studies.
