Vsevolod Illarionovich Pudovkin Books
Vsevolod Pudovkin was a Russian and Soviet film director who developed influential theories of montage. While Eisenstein used montage to glorify the power of the masses, Pudovkin focused on the courage and resilience of individuals. His masterpieces are often contrasted with those of his contemporaries, but Pudovkin's approach emphasized individual human strength. His films thus offer a more intimate perspective on the human experience.
