Eisenstein

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Eisenstein mainly through his collaboration with Prokofiev, which he presents as a rare meeting between a filmmaker and a composer12. In Alexander Nevsky, he dwells on one specific sequence: after the battle, Russian women search for their loved ones among the dead. He returns to it twice, first in a session on the dialectics of identity and difference3, then to read in it a form of family piety toward the dead4. He also recalls the standing of Battleship Potemkin, which topped film rankings for his generation5. In a session devoted to Clouscard, he calls him the greatest Soviet filmmaker and cites October, with its depiction of the storming of the Winter Palace6. The passages are brief: Eisenstein appears as an occasional reference, tied to Prokofiev's music and to the memory of the revolution.
