Iconoclastic British director Peter Greenaway may be forced to make changes to the script for the second of two films about Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein if he wants to ensure cooperation from Russian officials.
Greenaway is relying on help from Russia’s state film fund, Gosfilmofond, for archival material and location shooting in St. Petersburg for The Eisenstein Handshakes.
But the film’s focus on Eisenstein’s reported homosexuality has upset the head of Gosfilmofond, according to media reports.
