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.

Viewing Notes
Total spur of the moment decision to see a movie and see this movie. Glad I did. Knew nothing about Eisenstein so this was quite enlightening to say the least. Now I want to view his films and revisit Battleship Potemkin.
What I like the most about this movie is how stylized it is from the shot composition to the use of color treatment and variety of lens to the still photography. Wildly creative way to tell this story. I really want to visit the places where this was filmed.
