Rejected by Hollywood, Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein travels to Mexico to shoot a new film funded by author and socialite Upton Sinclair. Eisenstein travels among Mexico’s elite, including Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, but his greatest enlightenment comes from his guide Palomino Cañedo. Eisenstein follows as Palomino leads him into a world of pleasure and homoeroticism, with direct yet gentle resolve. Legendary director Peter Greenaway’s (The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover) latest film is a visual masterpiece filled with precise montages and stunning art direction, told at a hurried, frenetic pace much like Eisenstein’s life
