Eisenstein was also fascinated by the artifice of mask and ritual, and the way it expresses an attitude which both accepts and mocks the roles people play in society.
Eisenstein uses the triangle, figures of three, and the cross throughout the film, in a deliberate and abstract sense of balance within the frame.
Eisenstein was rash and impulsive, impractical in his daily affairs, a free spirit in sexual matters (although not too openly so), and was every inch an experimenter and a futurist when it came to art.
Born on Jan 23, 1898 in Riga, Latvia, Sergei Mikhaylovich Eisenstein was to become one of the most world-renowned filmmakers of the first half of the 20th century.
EisensteinÕs first film, the revolutionary "Strike," was produced in 1924, following the publishing of his first article on theories of editing in the review Lef, edited by the great poet, Mayakovsky.
Eisenstein's next film was the two hour film, "October" or "Ten Days That Shook the World", dealing with the shifts of power between the 1917 February and October revolutions, Lenin's entering the scene and the struggle of the Bolsheviks with their opponents.
