At the time I watched this film, I knew very little about Eisenstein except that he was a famous Russian film director -- Similarly, I knew little about Peter Greenway except that I had enjoyed others of his films -- As I enjoyed this very funny film, I also was uneasy -- Could a director who created the epic grandeur film “Potemkin” be this scatter-brained? Little appears to have been written about his personal life while living in Mexico -- A delightful film, fun to view, but likely of Greenway's imagination.
