Eisenstein, Pudovkin, Dovzhenko, Vertov: these Soviet film directors are acknowledged to be among the greatest in the history of cinematography. Written by an author who knew each of them personally, using personal recollections, diaries, notes, unpublished and published biographies, letters, press cuttings, articles and books in various languages as well as Soviet sources, this indispensible book discusses their major films including an account of their creation and reception in the USSR and abroad and then examines the changed viewpoint in the climate of 1983 when the book was originally published.
