Vivid, eccentric and free-ranging, Sergei Eisenstein's Immoral Memories is written in a style reminiscent of the brilliant visual effects of montage and dynamic progression of the legendary Russian director, creator of Ivan The Terrible and Battleship Potemkin. Eisenstein wittily portrays his life in Russia from the time of the Revolution, his travels in the West and his encounters with an amazing medley of people on both sides of the Iron Curtain including Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich and Man Ray.
