    • Trivia
      The starring actor Elmer Bäck is Finnish, his mother tongue is Swedish, his character is Russian and the film is set in a Spanish-speaking country - but the only language he speaks in the film is English.
    • Goofs
      Eisenstein says Chaplin, Pickford, and Fairbanks were at Universal. They were at United Artists.
    • Quotes

      Sergei Eisenstein: My prick is a stowaway, and even sadder clown than me. He wears a sad clown's helmet.

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits sequence is from the POV of a car driving through contemporary (2015) streets, as seen by present-day signage and cars it passes. It's the only part of the film not set in 1931.

    One of just a few very poor Greenaway works
    Greenaway has been doing more forays into commercial oriented films of late and it is exactly those films that are the most problematic. There is just no excuse for ignoring Eisenstein's effusive fawning over and sycophant relationship to Joseph Stalin. Perhaps no artist in Soviet history was more complicit in actively betraying other artists. Eisenstein did not simply get cornered; he sought out other creative talent, especially in film, engaged them with the goal of destroying them, and dutifully reported them to the NKVD in order to send them into the nightmare and abyss. The man's main talent was manipulation and betrayal We also now know Jay Leyda, who was central to the Mexico project, was complicit. This is all a shame since the the cinematography of Guanajuato is quite good, the narrative structure flows very well, and it is a more approachable Greenaway than most. Still though, if you know the history of the subject, it is an overwhelmingly nauseating whitewash.
