In 1931 the Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein travels to Guanajuato to direct his film Que viva México. There he encounters a new culture and its dealings with death; he also discovers another revolution and his own body. Greenaway (The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover) is more playful and less cerebral here than in some of his previous films. In a hugely enjoyable and entertaining film, he lavishly re-imagines Eisenstein's experience, consciously borrowing from that filmmaker's cinematic language (including split-screens, extreme close-ups, and wondrous montages) to paint the transformation of a national hero, a highly conceptual filmmaker, into a flesh and blood man who presents himself as a clown.
Please note there are two screenings for this film, be sure to select the correct date and time.
