In 1931, following the success of the film Battleship Potemkin, Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein travels to the city of Guanajuato, Mexico, to shoot a new film. Freshly rejected by Hollywood, Eisenstein soon falls under Mexico’s spell. Chaperoned by his guide Palomino Cañedo, the director opens up to his suppressed fears as he embraces a new world of sensual pleasures and possibilities that will shape the future of his art.

I appreciate the amount of excess shown and the themes of being queer and intersection of identity in film but i cannot deny that this film does drag. On a side note, the queer sex scene in this film was very beautiful and nuances that made it stand out as a pivotal scene for the protagonist

De las películas más caóticas que he visto. Llega a ser muy divertida pero también tan rara que cuestionas porque la estás viendo, aunque también es un poco lo que se debería esperar con una película de Peter Greenaway.Perdió media estrella porque sentí que no la supo acabar. 

Pro: es muy gay (muy)Contra: la representación mexicana es horrible 🤮

Even though I haven't watched all of Greenaways newer movies it's always a surprise seeing them, as you never quite know what to expect from his style. He seemed to have picked up a slightly more contemporary style in the 90s, but with Nightwatching he seemed to kinda gravitate back towards his slightly more extravagant and very stylistic way of approaching filmmaking. Here I don't know what he's going for quite honestly. There's still some funky things going on, but nothing compared to what we've seen and it's hard to pretend it still feels like Greenaway.

We follow a neurotic and annoying character, I don't know how close his portrayal is to the real life counter part, non the less annoying characters isn't exactly a new thing for Greenaway. However surround this character with uninteresting characters and a story that doesn't really exist you don't exactly get a great movie. It's a shame really, but it just doesn't feel much like the Greenaway I've come to love
