Plot

Eisenstein is celebrated either as the last Leonardo da Vinci of modernity or attacked as Faustus Faustus who made a pact with the devil Whichever is the case neither friends nor foes are able to resist the powerful draw of Eisensteins work He was a person of complexity who was understood in very different ways as a generous cosmopolitan and a stingy hermit a cynic and yet a highly sensitive vulnerable being The film deals with a number of phases in Eisensteins life and tries to get away from the orthodox image of him by using new material to shed a different light on his biography
