5.0 out of 5 stars
classic Eisenstein film
This is the two films Ivan the Tterrible I, II. A good transfer. It's nice to have it available -- I saw it about 50 years ago and am glad to be able to get it.

Not unrewarding, but not the Eisenstein I would recommend
By the time he made "Ivan the Terrible" Eisenstein had moved from employing film montage juxtapositions to creating juxtapositions within the frame so the feel of the movie is very different from his early films. Between that change in style and the high contract lighting and the overwrought pantomime acting style, "Ivan" looks almost like a parody of an early silent film...

This review is from: Ivan The Terrible I & II (DVD)
By the time he made "Ivan the Terrible" Eisenstein had moved from employing film montage juxtapositions to creating juxtapositions within the frame so the feel of the movie is very different from his early films. Between that change in style and the high contract lighting and the overwrought pantomime acting style, "Ivan" looks almost like a parody of an early silent film - despite being a talkie. Add to that the mostly static framing, the majestic but often sparsely furnished sets, the elegant and sometimes extreme looking costumes and hair and I was often reminded of nothing so much as the old Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon serials I watched on television as a kid - but with Ming the Merciless as the hero - and without much of the action.Not unrewarding, but not the Eisenstein I would recommend. |
