"Eisenstein in Guanajuato" tells the story of Sergei Eisenstein, the father of world montage, during a peculiar period in Mexico. The film is highly experimental and visually impactful, representing the pinnacle of British director Peter Greenaway's work, and was nominated for the Golden Bear at the 2015 Berlin Film Festival. In 1931, Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein (played by Elmer Bäck) traveled to Guanajuato to shoot his new film "¡Viva Mexico!". There, he encountered a completely new culture and the local civilization's attitude towards death, discovering another side of himself. In this exotic land filled with joy and danger, he began to reassess his homeland and the societal system under Stalin's rule. "The ten days that shocked Eisenstein," the Eisenstein in the film describes his experiences in Guanajuato; this summary is drawn from Eisenstein's classic film "Ten Days That Shook the World," a silent film about the Russian October Revolution. In this film, audiences can experience the wild adventures of Eisenstein in Guanajuato, akin to the October Revolution. Although the story spans only ten days, the film utilizes exaggerated editing to organize Eisenstein's cinematic achievements and personal experiences, weaving together the legendary life of the master, undoubtedly a bold and avant-garde visual attempt in biographical cinema.
