Day 146: The Antidote to ‘Ivan the Terrible’ 1945

The Antidote to ‘Ivan the Terrible’ 1945

I have read every entry of all books in my library which references Eisenstein to get a hint of an explanation of why Ivan the Terrible is so (good or so) bad.

Nothing.

It’s a worry when books which have an entire section devoted to Eisenstein suddenly stop having an opinion – or never even had one to start with – after Potemkin and October.
