MEXICAN FANTASY (EISENSTEIN)

Filmmaker and film historian Oleg Kovalov, who previously made the fine documentary Sergei Eisenstein: An Autobiography, again turns his attention to the great Russian director who revolutionized film form. In this illuminating feature, Kovalov uses footage from the unfinished Mexican feature that Eisenstein began in 1930 to create a thoughtful and contemplative interpretation of the film that might have been. Eisenstein's abandoned Mexican footage has been released in various forms, most impressively in Que Viva Mexico, a 1979 reconstruction by Grigori Alexandrov, the last surviving member of Eisenstein's Mexican team. But, as Kovalov said, "Sergei Eisenstein: Mexican Fantasy does not attempt to reconstruct a film that was never made except in the filmmaker's head. It investigates the nature of incomplete films and attempts to touch on the secrets of a lost Atlantis...We want our audience to share the emotions evoked by this tragically unfinished, yet suggestively beautiful work." In Russian with Oleg Kovalov---Russia---1998---100 mins.

Eisenstein's long-lost diamond-in-the-rough, shot by the great Eduard Tisse, and financed by Upton Sinclair. Reconstructed in 1979 by Grigori Alexandrov, the last surviving member of Eisenstein's Mexican team, Que Viva Mexico is a silent film narrated in Russian and subtitled in English. It is divided into segments: a wedding, a bullfight, a fiesta, a dramatized abortive uprising by peons against feudal masters at the turn of the century. Anyone who has seen the lyrical, ravishing images of Eduard Tisse's Que Viva Mexico will revel in the priceless beauty of Eisenstein's incomplete master-work. In Russian with English subtitles. Sergei Eisenstein/Grigori Alexandrov---USSR---1931/1979---85 mins.
