Synopsis
In 1931, following the success of the film Battleship Potemkin, Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein travels to the city of Guanajuato, Mexico, to shoot a new film. Freshly rejected by Hollywood, Eisenstein soon falls under Mexico’s spell. Chaperoned by his guide Palomino Cañedo, the director opens up to his suppressed fears as he embraces a new world of sensual pleasures and possibilities that will shape the future of his art.

A stunning movie in terms of form and content, concerning well known Sergej Eisenstein. Greenaway manages to create a visual language, which antagonizes but also underlines Eisensteins cinematic importance. And also introduces in a vivid provocatice way the dead-silence fact of his homosexual life.
