Summary: Montage enters into a dialogue with the cinema, probing and playing with its language of motion and stillness, continuity and discontinuity, constraint and openness, time and duration. Sam Rohdie's book guides its ideas and arguments to a plane free from the often unwieldy complexities of contemporary theory and cultural criticism. Montage explores associative and comparative possibilities in the films of directors such as Takeshi Kitano, Jean Renoir, D.W. Griffith, Howard Hawks, Lev Kulsehov, Sergei Eisenstein, and Alfred Hitchcock. Through the prism of montage, it offers new perspectives on mise en scène, framing, shots, and narrative variation. In combining the analysis of film forms and structures with an awareness of their historical and artistic relation to other art forms, it also elucidates an appreciation of montage aesthetics that is attentive to the influences of photography, painting and other arts.
