Editorial Reviews

Review

MLR, 100.2, 2005. Reviewed by Amy Sargeant - "... a sympathetic yet incisive companion... Nesbet's exemplary appraisal is to be thoroughly recommended". 'On the front cover...the publisher claims that each chapter "offers a fundamentally new interpretation on the films and writing that make up his oeuvre". Words like these are gefundenes Fressen for stingy critics because they are so difficult to live up to. What is fascinating in Nesbet's book, however, is that she fulfils these promises, not only because of her persistent work in Russian archives... but also thanks to her intelligence and creativity in detecting and outlining such resources...' 'The different chapters of Nesbet's book deal with interesting aspects of Eisenstein's works in novel and inspiring ways.'Film International, Issue 18 2005
