| DVD

This DVD box set features the following films: Bezhin Meadow Alexander Nevsky: Nevsky was a warrior hero who fought the Teutons in 13th century Russia and helped forge the national identity. Classical composer Prokofiev wrote the score a collaboration which continued with Ivan parts1 and 2. It was regarded as a propaganda film for the Russian national spirit it found support from Stalin himself. Ivan The Terrible: The first half of Eisenstein's epic history of Ivan IV follows his life from his coronation as Tsar of all Russia to his marriage as well as his early... battle campaigns against the Tartars and the increasing number of rivals plotting his overthrow. It's his most richly visual and textured but again it got him into trouble with authorities ironically accusing him of being anti-Stalin. Ivan The Terrible Part 2: The Boyars Plot: In his continuing saga of Ivan's reign Eisenstein dramatizes the poisoning of Ivan's wife the defection of his friends - one to the rival army the other joining the Church -and the plotting by his own aunt to put her own son on the throne. It also deals with the Tzar's descent into madness and the growing paranoia of the nobility. His first film in dazzling colour its climactic scenes have been unrivalled. Stalin had it banned fearing it to be a but it was finally released ten years after Eisenstein's death before he could start on the final part of his trilogy. [show more]
