We’ve just recieved the first images from Eisenstein In Guanajuato, the latest film directed by Peter Greenaway (The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover, The Draughtsman’s Contract, The Pillow Boo‘), and starring Finnish actor Elmer Back in the title role, Mexican actor Luis Alberti in the role of his guide (Palomino Cañedo), South African actor Stelio Savante as Hunter S. Kimbrough and Lisa Owen as Mary Craig Sinclair. The film follows Eisenstein as he spends ten days in 1931 in Guanajuato, Mexico, where his experiences humanizes Eisenstein as a filmmaker, and his films become more sympathetic to the human condition.
Peter Greenaway said: “At a time when cinema is dying, it is pertinent to celebrate cinema’s greatest practitioner. The business of cinema never seems to change. Many of the problems Eisenstein had in 1931, have reappeared all over again. Difficulties of financing, problems of logistics, cultures and language barriers.
