Abstract
The article explores Sergei Eisenstein's unfinished attempt to adapt Marx's Capital into a revolutionary film, revealing how his fragmented notebooks became an artistic experiment in dialectical thinking. Topics include the intersection of Marxist theory and avant-garde cinema, Eisenstein's innovative use of montage as political philosophy; and how his unfinished project speaks to contemporary crises of representation.
