«Iván el Terrible» is the two-part film directed by Serguéi Eisenstein (1945-1946), starring Nikolai Cherkasov and Serafima Birman, on DVD.
Soviet historical drama about the rise of Ivan IV, crowned tsar at just seventeen, and his struggle to unify Russia against the boyars. The first part shows his conquests and the death of his wife; the second returns him to Moscow, where he dismantles a conspiracy of the boyars, his aunt, and the Church.
The two parts run 95 and 81 minutes (176 in total); the DVD includes Russian Dolby Digital 2.0 audio and subtitles in Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
It is especially appealing to cinephiles interested in Soviet cinema and in the figure of Eisenstein, a pioneer of montage.
