The venerated filmmaker Eisenstein is comparable in talent, insight and wisdom, with the likes of Shakespeare or Beethoven; there are few - if any - directors who can be elevated to such heights. On the back of his revolutionary film Battleship Potemkin, he was celebrated around the world, and invited to the US. Ultimately rejected by Hollywood and maliciously maligned by conservative Americans, Eisenstein traveled to Mexico in 1931 to consider a film privately funded by American pro-Communist sympathizers, headed by the American writer Upton Sinclair. Eisenstein's sensual Mexican experience appears to have been pivotal in his life and film career - a significant hinge between the early successes of Strike, Battleship Potemkin, and October, which made him a world-renowned figure, and his hesitant later career with Alexander Nevsky, Ivan the Terrible and The Boyar's Plot.
Leave your thoughts about Eisenstein in Guanajuato.
| GaruyoUriel BarcoEisenstein in Guanajuato can be enjoyed from different angles, ranging from a critical biopic of a filmmaker and social and sexual discourse, to a fascinating visual experiment. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzMessy but quite amusing portrait of the Internationally celebrated Russian silent filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonAs always with Greenaway, the dialogue tends towards the florid and the intellectual. Nevertheless, he remains a master image-maker and an irrepressible subversive. |
| Brooklyn MagazineSteve EricksonGreenaway's film suffers from an ability to reign in its own excess. |
| The Public (Buffalo)M. FaustGreenaway has tempered the delight in packing his digitally modified compositions that made Prospero's Books so overwhelming, but that's not saying much. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabAs the bushy haired Russian filmmaker, Elmer Bäck looks and behaves like Harpo Marx. It's an intriguing performance which captures its subject's humour, prurience and his visionary qualities. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlEisenstein in Guanajuato is an outrageous comic-erotic extravaganza that has more of a narrative arc than most Greenaway movies. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenBeyond the arty trappings and flamboyant showmanship that are typical of Mr. Greenaway, 73, Eisenstein in Guanajuato is a brazen provocation. |
| Slant MagazineCarson LundWhat comes through clearly by the end of the film is the act of one artist's eccentric generosity breathing new awareness into the life of another. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonEisenstein is embodied by the fabulous Elmer Bäck, who gallops at the role in the way Liberace might have plunged into a haberdashers. |
