Eisenstein : the master's house

This film is an attempt to portray the visual and intellectual world of Sergei Eisenstein and to investigate the sources of his inspiration, which produced some of the most impressive movies in film history. The filmmakers link images in seemingly free association to make us aware of Eisenstein’s intellectual universe, his education, his art and the pressures in his creative life. The chains of associations are put together with sequences from his films, film sequences from directors he admired, historical documentary footage, photographs and newly filmed sequences. This is a feature documentary to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth and the 50th anniversary of his death
