El Greco cineasta
«¡Qué cinematográfico era todo lo que este viejo español hacía!» Iluminación, montaje, composición, objetivos, actores, color... Todo lo que a un cineasta ruso del siglo XX le podía interesar estaba ya en los cuadros de aquel griego errante del siglo XVI , el Greco. Y tengamos presente que los intereses del autor eran dispares: Rembrandt, Van Gogh, De Quincey, Dostoievski, Tolstoi, la pintura china, el éxtasis, el peyote, los espejos convexos, el cante jondo… Todo le servía a este ruso imaginativo para aprender del Greco no como de un artista del pasado, sino como de un adelantado, el primer cineasta. Cuatrocientos años de cine y muchos más de pintura en una de las lecturas modernistas más lúcidas y apasionadas de la obra del Greco.

About the author
Sergei Eisenstein
130 books101 followersSergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein was a Soviet film director and film theorist, a pioneer in the theory and practice of montage. He is noted in particular for his silent films Strike (1925), Battleship Potemkin (1925) and October (1928), as well as the historical epics Alexander Nevsky (1938) and Ivan the Terrible (1944, 1958). In its 2012 decennial poll, the magazine Sight & Sound named his Battleship Potemkin the 11th greatest movie of all time.
Eisenstein was among the earliest film theorists. He believed that editing could be used for more than just expounding a scene or moment, through a "linkage" of related images. He developed what he called "methods of montage":
1) Metric
2) Rhythmic
3) Tonal
4) Overtonal
5) Intellectual
Eisenstein's articles and books—particularly Film Form and The Film Sense—explain the significance of montage in detail. His writings and films have continued to have a major impact on subsequent filmmakers.

El montaje, el secreto.

Creo que es un libro clave para indagar en conceptos que transpasan el arte del Greco visto a través de un maestro cineasta.
