This trio of rousing action epics from director Sergei Eisenstein reveals a deeply unsettling potrail of the Soviet Union under Stalin.Alexander Nevsky (1938, 108 min.)- Eisenstein drew on history, Russian folk narratives and techniques of Walt Disney to create this epic tale of Alexander Nevsky's tactical brilliance.Widely imitated, the battle on the Ice scene remains one of the most famous audio-visual experiment in film history, perfecly blending action with the rousing score of Sergei Prokofiev.Ivan the Terrible, Part 1 and 2 (1945, 99 min & 1958, 85 min)- Eisenstein filmed two parts of his planned trilogy on the troubled 16th century Tsar who united Russia.Visually stunning and powerfully acted, "Ivan Grozny" charts the rise to power and descent into madness of essentially, a dictor.Though pleased with the first installment, Stalin detected the portrait in the second film- with its summary executions and secret police- and promptly banned it.
