Ivan the Terrible

By Sergei Eisenstein and Sergei Eisentein

Book Overview

The Russian film-maker Sergei Eisenstein intended to present the history of the notorious Ivan IV of Russia in three parts, but he had difficulty reconciling his own vision of the film with the sensitive political requirements of the Russian Ministry of Cinematography. Part 1 was released in 1945, but the second part was banned and Eisenstein died before he could complete the re-editing."

Part of the Classic Film Scripts series

Have the notes and the film script on track. As with most scripts, there are also theatrical directions. It is interspersed with photos from the film. Watch the first two parts and read about the third. I find the film scripts sometimes easier to follow than the film.
