10/10
A powerful experience.
13 January 2002
A film about power,jealousy and humanity.A really detailed chronicle about Czar Ivan IV's life.Eisenstein was one of the greatest director´s ever and this film is so brilliant and inspiring as it could get.The acting is very powerful and the screenplay,settings,the cinematography and the music is fantastic.It´s historical interesting but most of all because it´s about humanity.It was made under the world war two. The sequence were Ivan is sick really touched me.Just take the example when prince Andrei Kurbsky is talking to Ivan´s wife about taking him exactly after he think´s that Ivan has died.Then the camera films on a painting on the wall just as if they was being watched.

A big epic masterpiece is truly what this film is.A bit frightening to.Visual magnificent.I haven´t seen part two yet but I will soon see it and I hope that I will found it as good as this.Without a doubt 5/5
