(USSR 1944) by S.M. Eisenstein, starring Nikolai Cherkasov, Lyudmila Tselikovskaya, b/w, 96’, 35mm Italian dubbed version

Crowned Czar of all the Russias, Ivan IV concentrates power in his hands by pursuing ruthless politics and using his charisma. But the noble Boyars fear they'll lose their privileges, so they hatch a plot behind his back. First chapter of a never-to-be-completed trilogy, this film is one of the undisputed heights of Eisenstein's art and aesthetic theories, an upsetting reflection on power, full of indelible images.
