Juggling in Movies
Eisenstein in Guanajuato (2015)
[Elmer Bäck, Luis Alberti, José Montini, Cristina Velasco Lozano]
Netherlands. In 1931, at the height of his artistic powers, Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein travels to Mexico to shoot a new film to be titled Que Viva Mexico. Freshly rejected by Hollywood and under increasing pressure to return to Stalinist Russia, Eisenstein arrives at the city of Guanajuato. Chaperoned by his guide Palomino Canedo, he vulnerably experiences the ties between Eros and Thanatos, sex and death, happy to create their effects in cinema, troubled to suffer them in life.
At 14:22, a clown juggles 2 scarves in one hand for 3 seconds.
