Pressure A Director To Hide Eisenstein’s Sexuality? Why, We Did No Such Thing, Says Russia

The director of the State Film Foundation, responding to earlier reports, said, “The reason is nothing to do with homosexuality, I didn’t talk about it at all. There are issues with the screenplay, but it’s not about this. For example, about the shooting of Battleship Potemkin. I really don’t like the way that Peter Greenaway interprets it.”
