well arguably the second "Ivan" film is a critique of Stalin. the whole film is about the paranoia that comes with power, and the death meted out as a result--it makes Ivan into a simultaneously grotesque and tragic figure. anyway the "Ivan" films are the strangest films you will ever see, I'm confident. no way can they be reduced to either Stalinist paen *or* or Stalinist critique.

CLASSIC, if even for Ivan the Terrible alone. I'm with amateurist on this one. The two films are without peer.

It's pretty wry when Prince Nevsky says "it's better to die than to leave your homeland" considering Eisenstein had only returned a couple years before from jaunts in Mexico, Europe and America.
