Description
Sergei Eisenstein's unfinished essay on Walt Disney offers a unique insight into the filmmaker's thoughts on modern consciousness and art. First begun in 1940, this work was part of a series of essays on masters of cinema, where Eisenstein explored how certain impulses and themes continued to influence contemporary culture.
This edition presents the original, unfinished essay alongside additional material that Eisenstein worked on in subsequent years but never successfully integrated into the piece. A fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of cinema's most influential theorists, On Disney provides a rare opportunity to explore the intersection of art and modernity through Eisenstein's distinctive lens.
