But he knew nothing about film production and less about Eisenstein's highly improvisatory working methods. Mexican actor Luis Alberti builds a fine counterpoint to Eisenstein's character and a credible gay love interest. In other words, for those profoundly into male nudity and gay cinema, I would recommend to go and see this film; otherwise, you'll probably have some other place you'd rather be. 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. No, this movie is all about the male body and, to put it frank, gay anal sex.
Peter Greenaway vuelve a su cine más provocador con esta historia a camino entre la realidad y la ficción sobre el maestro Eisenstein. Con la ayuda de su joven y atractivo guía Palomino Cañedo, el reputado director da libertad por primera vez a sus verdaderos deseos entrando en un mundo en el que todo es posible y que cambiará para siempre su vida y su forma de entender el cine. I had to actually close my eyes as I felt the whole scene was making me sick. There is almost nothing in this film about Eisenstein's film making. That's the one positive thing I have to say about this movie. As is known Sergei Eisenstein hoped to work in Hollywood in the early thirties just as sound came in. Ordinarily I can take Peter Greenaway or leave him alone -- chiefly thelatter.
With the companionship of his Mexican guide'Palomino', performed so wonderfully by Luis Alberti, Eisenstein givesinto his own desires, his own needs, and is given the chance thoughbriefly to be himself physically, artistically, and intellectually. Overall Eisenstein in Guanajuato was for me a very satisfying and surprisingly entertaining experience. Here the artist brakes the shacklesothers have place upon him. I hope this is all based onEisenstein's actual writings about the subject, as it is clear that hehas thoughts about what movies can do with these tools. Peter Greenaway does not try to expose any secrets of the film making art of Eisenstein, but rather deals with the surrounding context that made his films possible.

Greenaway chose to have the movie focus on Eisenstein's experiences inMexico, but did not include any of the actual movie-making Eisensteindid there.

He falls madly inlove and lust with a handsome guide. Moreover he got a gander at the great man's cacheof frankly gay pornographic drawings. This film indeed is not about Eisenstein making a film we see very little to nothing of that , or about his time in Mexico: except for some beautiful shots of nature and some dead masks and philosophical bladibla which has been taken totally out of context and are never truly deepened, there is little to no true interaction with Mexican culture. How does he know Eisenstein first had sex with a man in Mexico rather than, say, the gay demimonde of Berlin? Thecharacters are stylized into cartoon characters, and the dialog isboring and unengaging. The sexual scenes were graphical, but not grotesque or provoking unless you are provoked by homosexuality. But he really scores this time with a story that has longed tobe told.
The period spent by Eisenstein in Mexico while shooting material never gathered and edited for a film about the country and its revolutions may have been the happiest time in the life of the director already famous for Potemkin and October. At no point does he shout 'Camera! It allowed him not only a unique encounter with a culture that was so different from some aspects yet so close from other compared with the Russian culture he knew from home, but also an encounter with himself, with his own demons, his self-denied homosexuality, his tendency to the luxury and the decadence of the bourgeois life, so different from the austerity he left in the Soviet Russia and to which he was condemned to return. But he really scores this time with a story that has longed to be told. But Greenaway, in reducing that breakthrough to a single, silly roll in the hay, falls back on the stalest of clichés. .
It has a story, and it has a hero and it has a theme, one of these themes film makers love to bring to screen, maybe the ultimate film theme - film making! Hewas a great artist of the cinema but here in Guanajuato Eisensteinfinds himself and realizes he doesn't need the approval of his peers tobe the person he is. It playsaround with the format, having real life photos of the characters andthe locations next to characters as they are mentioned, playing withangles and positions of the characters, experimenting with colors, andobviously, using montages in a great way. As is known Sergei Eisenstein hoped to work in Hollywood in the earlythirties just as sound came in. What I loved about this movie: The editing is fantastic. But he knew nothing about film production and less aboutEisenstein's highly improvisatory working methods. Rechazado por la implacable industria de Hollywood, Eisenstein se deja seducir por el encanto y la frescura de su nuevo destino. I read some critical opinions about viewers 'getting tired' by the too intense camera work - I do not agree with them.
Eisenstein in Guanajuato can be seen almost as a return to the more conventional tools of film making. Great cinema for the thinking person! The vomiting and diarrhea scenes at the start of the movie had already done the same thing. 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. First, Greenaway sorely misses the collaboration of composer , whose propulsive music so enhanced his early features. Undoubtedly, Eisenstein was smitten with the pure sensuality of Mexico, the bright light, striking colors, luxuriant foliage and exotic animals.
