Personal Quote:

The hieroglyphic language of the cinema is capable of expressing any concept, any idea of class, any political or tactical slogan, without recourse to the help of a rather suspect dramatic or psychological past.

Trivia:

Visited Germany and met with Fritz Lang during the filming of Metropolis (1927), on the The Pleasure Garden (1925) set. (1926). See more »

Trademark:

[Montage] Considered the father of the cinematic montage, he often used heavily edited sequences for emotional impact and historical propaganda (his most famous being the Odessa Steps sequence in Battleship Potemkin (1925) [Battleship Potemkin]).
