Eisenstein in Guanajuato's reviews
Media reviews
Fotogramas
The film works as Eisenstein-at demystifying portraying almost like Harpo Marx lookalikes Greenaway knows precisely because his work by heart and admired almost as much as himself.
El País
The director of 'The Belly of an Architect', as always, breaks the mold. But this time with the ardor of a warrior camera: no borders whatsoever.
The Hollywood Reporter
Peter Greenaway's latest semi-experimental, visually ambitious work explores the life-changing months 'Battleship Potemkin' director Sergei Eisenstein spent in Mexico.
Variety
As with his unfinished ?Que viva Mexico,? Eisenstein almost surely could have edited it into shape, though it?s wonderfully mind-boggling in this unwieldy form as well.
El Mundo
Between fiction and its opposite, which is not necessarily reality, Greenaway composed a treaty of sensation, carnal and violent, freedom variegated.
Screen Daily
There?s no denying the pathos of the film?s central character, a brittle, childlike artist who seems to lose his cultural bearings in this exotic setting.
