The great Russian film director Sergei Eisenstein, whose Potemkin, Alexander Nevsky, and Ivan the Terrible stand as masterpieces of world cinema, is the subject of this eccentric and puzzling production. Though based on memoirs Eisenstein wrote before his death in 1948, most of this film is barely a documentary at all, but rather a composite of images, many of which are fascinating and arresting. Eisenstein himself was known for startling and memorable images (perhaps the most famous of which is the shot of the baby carriage rolling down the steps in Potemkin), so memorializing him with clips from his own films interspersed with readings from his memoirs seems somewhat appropriate. But the voice-over in Russian (with English subtitles) is quite sparse, and at times the images onscreen, which include clips from Buster Keaton films and Hollywood musicals from the 1930s, are utterly mystifying.. --Robert J. McNamara

It's a 60-minutes documentary about different types, techniques and notions of montage used by Eisenstein. The movie is very imaginative, features a lot of interesting video-techniques to visualize different concepts of montage. This is not Eisenstein's film, but a series of montage lessons by V. Chubisov using Eisenstein's films for examples...

梅兰芳1935年去苏联访问期间，爱森斯坦为其拍摄的一部戏曲电影。

彼得·格林纳威将自编自导《爱森斯坦在瓜纳华托》前传《爱森斯坦在好莱坞》（Eisenstein in Hollywood，暂译）。埃尔默·拜克将继续饰演爱森斯坦这一角色。在这部影片中，爱森斯坦受卓别林邀请来到好莱坞，还结识了对当代电影影响重大的格里菲斯和刘别谦等人。该片有望于今年11月开机拍摄。

《爱森斯坦在瓜纳华托》讲述的是世界蒙太奇之父谢尔盖·爱森斯坦在墨西哥度过的一段奇特岁月。影片实验性颇足，并极具视觉冲击力，是英国导演彼得·格林纳威的巅峰之作，入围2015年柏林电影节金熊奖。 1931年，苏联导演谢尔盖·爱森斯坦（埃尔默·拜克 Elmer Bäck 饰） 到瓜纳华托拍摄他的新片《墨西哥万岁》。在那里，他接触到全新的文化以及当地文明对死亡的态度，也发现了另一个自己。在兼具欢乐和危险的异国他乡，他开始重新评估他的祖国和斯大林统治下的社会制度。“震撼爱森斯坦的十天”，片中的爱森斯坦这样描述自己在瓜纳华托的经历，这句总结来自爱森斯坦的经典电影《震撼世界的十天》，一部关于俄国十月革命的默片。在本片中观众可以感受到爱森斯坦在瓜纳华托经历像十月革命那样跌宕疯狂的冒险。虽然只有十天故事，影片却通过夸张的剪辑处理整理出爱森斯坦的电影成就和个人经历，串联出大师的传奇一生，无疑是人物传记电影里大胆而先锋的影像尝试。

1931年，世界格局已然开始风云四起，但电影业似乎也经历着诸多机遇和变革。大师级的导演谢尔盖·爱森斯坦前往遥远的墨西哥瓜纳华托，在这里开始了短暂而…

I just watched this compilation of footage shot in Mexico around 1930 by Eisenstein, and I was completely unprepared for the striking quality of these images, some of the most beautiful black and white cinematography I've seen. As I understand it, this footage, which Eisenstein was compelled to abandon, has been compiled and edited into a sort of travelogue by the Oleg Kovalov, who gets director credit for this film. This is a travelogue in a more old-fashioned sense – not a survey of resorts, hotels, casinos and airports, but an impression of the time, place, people and atmosphere of old Mexico. It has been edited per notes left by Eisenstein, along with a degree of interpretation guided by Kovalov's knowledge of Eisenstein's style and intentions. However far it might have strayed from those original intentions, it is a remarkably beautiful film in its own right. Early on in the film, the compositions look like Gaugin paintings come to life, as the provincial Mexicans strike the iconic poses that Eisenstein set up, surrounded by tropical foliage. In one particular shot, two young woman hold their pose under some palm leaves, but the one on the left repeatedly breaks into giggles, possibly over the strange attitude that the crazy Russian has asked her to hold. Really charming. Many of the scenes with the local people are moody, or even a bit spooky, some involving symbols of death. Others are more festive, but still with a dark quality to them. A Russian is a Russian, I guess. A stereo soundtrack has been added which consists of various ethnic music (not just Mexican), more modern, avant-garde music, and ambient sounds and sound effects that are so apt and well-timed to the film, they give you an eerie sense of being there. This is one of the best things I've seen in a long time, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

One of the few pre-Revolution Russian feature films to survive, Father Sergius is an elaborate picturization of a Tolstoy novel. Ivan Mozzhukin plays a young, libertine officer who thinks nothing of committing casual sins while in the service of the Czar. He comes to regret his misdeeds as he grows older, his past debaucheries manifesting themselves in his wizened face and desiccated body. He wanders up and down the countryside, searching for redemption. Director Feodor Protazanov emphasized the high and low points of Mozhukin's life by filming in the actual palaces and private clubs described by Tolstoy in his novel. The overall theme of corruption in high places automatically resulted in Father Sergius being banned by the Czarist censors, though the film found a more receptive audience once the government passed into the hands of the revolutionaries. http://baike.baidu.com/view/1682027.htm 《谢尔盖神父》是俄罗斯作家列夫•托尔斯泰写于1912的一部中短篇小说。从内容上《谢尔盖神父》讲述了，神父谢尔盖由一名军官由于婚恋上的变故，入教修行，通过多年潜修成为一名著名的长老，而怀疑和偏执一直伴随着谢尔盖修道的生涯。众人以为的功成名就反而让谢尔盖迷失了自己，最终在教堂之外谢尔盖找到生活的真谛，和自己的信仰。
