| Brief Description: | 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. 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. Russian with English |
