--Do you think this is likely to be primarily an Eisenstein film, or primarily a Kovalov film?Well, I guess that's a tough question to crack. How about you make me a copy of the tape and I will lend all my expertise upon watching it?
Seriously, do you think that Mozart's Requiem is primarily his creation or Franz Xaver Sussmayr's who completed it after Mozart died? By conflicting opinions, Mozart left this world while drafting only the vocal parts and some harmonies, whereas Sussmayr put it all together in the form we all know and love. Still, noone calls it the "Sussmayr Edition".
By the same token, this Kovalev fella sounds like he is more knowledgeable about the stuff than you or I.
I do remember a film called Que Viva Mexico! Perchance this new film is a different cut of that one?
