"[Eisenstein's] obsession with what he sees, and in the cinema can marvelously make the viewer see too, is so hampered by the medium of words that it can leave little but an impression of genius, and the explosive strivings of what this particular genius needed to do....The cinema addict is bound to be entranced, though he will also be tantalized. He will want more, much more, about the period spent in Mexico, and about the 'trauma' in which that episode ended, what work was done there, and what new inspiration came from the meeting later on with Sadanji, 'the Stanislavsky of Tokyo'. But a collection of cinematic 'notes' like this one is probably worth many an earnest and theoretical treatise on the art of film."

John O. Bayley, Times Literary Supplement, 04/26/1996
