If you loved Alexander Newski, try Iwan, der Schreckliche Teil II
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen

What Iwan, der Schreckliche Teil II is
Macbeth without witches. Ivan IV faces down internal dissent while building a private army to secure his power. The visuals are striking, but the heavy-handed score and obvious political subtext now play as pure Soviet kitsch.
