Ivan the Terrible Part I

Ivan Gozny (Sergei Eisenstein, USSR 1944)

“the acme of all historical pictures” – Charles Chaplin, My Autobiography

“the darndest thing you ever saw” – Orson Welles, New York Post, 23/5/1945

It is a study, on a scale as ambitious as that of Shakespeare in his political plays – and more politically knowledgeable and incomparably hotter to handle – of an able man in whom two obsessions collide and become all but identical: love for an idea (his country’s strength) and, however discreetly suggested, love of power for its own sake. – James Agee

(16mm, B&W, 100 mins, Russian with English subtitles, G)

Ivan the Terrible, Part II: The Boyars’ Plot

Boyarsky Zagovor (Sergei Eisenstein, USSR 1946, released 1958)

Part Two was shelved for 12 years when it met with stern disapproval from Stalin, who had enthusiastically praised the first part. After making a film that met with official approval, Eisenstein subtly shifts the focus, twisting a knife that, until that moment, Stalin had not even noticed placed delicately between his ribs.

Part Two dissects dictatorship in general and the personality of Stalin in particular. Includes Eisenstein’s first use of colour, as several reels of Agfacolour film had been captured from the Germans.

(16mm, B&W and colour, 88mins, Russian with English subtitles)
