In the meantime, Eisenstein took a trip to the south of France. In Cannes, he visited the pro-Soviet author Henri Barbousse; spent a few days writing at Léon Moussinac’s cottage in Toulon, went dancing in a bar for sailors in Saint Tropez, and was invited to the villa of the Vicomte de Noailles at Hyéres. In Paris, Eisenstein had already entered the artistic salon of the Vicomte’s wife, Marie-Laure de Noailles, who fascinated him because she was a direct descendant of the Marquis de Sade, and her house was crammed with editions of Justine, The Philosophy of the Boudoir and the 120 Days of Sodom. Her husband had given financial backing to Cocteau’s first film, Le Sang d’un Poete and Buñuel’s Un Chien Andalou, which got him black-balled from the Jockey Club. Cocteau suggested that Eisenstein make a film in Marseilles with the backing of the Vicomte. But Eisenstein never even got to meet him.
