Peter Greenaway (THE PILLOW BOOK) gives us his interpretation of what happened to Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein when he went south of the border to make the film QUE VIVA MEXICO after the Red Scare made him unpopular in Hollywood. During his ten day stay in Guanajuato, Mexico, he is seduced and terrified by the daily representations of sex and death, one of which he is more at ease simulating onscreen while the other has bedeviled him offscreen.
