Sergei Mikhailovich
Eisenstein is one of the legendary names of cinema. With Battleship Potemkin he tasted fame early, but fell from grace under Stalin. A prolific writer and thinker, he also loved to sketch, often indulging in a taste for pornographic caricature. Ian Christie of the British Film
Institute shares his passion for the master of Soviet film with fellow enthusiasts around the world and endeavours to uncover the true Eisenstein glimpsed behind his many masks.
