Episode 169: FTF Theory #2 (Eisenstein's 'Methods of Montage' + Battleship Potemkin)

On this break episode of Floating Through Film, the guys are coming back to a new series we started called FTF Theory where we try to discuss some film theory/criticism. This week we're going through one of Eisenstein's famous essay's on cinema that he wrote in 1920, 'Methods of Montage'. The conversation also lead to a deeper discussion on the concept of montage generally and how its perception has changed over time. We then conclude by reviewing Eisenstein's 1925 classic film, Battleship Potemkin (1:26:29).
