Re: Eisenstein's "Alexander Nevsky"

There is the Criterion set with both Alexander Nevsky and Ivan in it - highly recommended.

You touched some of the best-of-the-best... there is no question about it. I loved Nevsky ever since I was probably 4... I could immediately relate to it back then... Ivan took longer.

Between the two Ivan is much more monumental, of course. I presume you know the two parts were made thirteen years apart.

Ivan is a must see film.

Did you notice the minro screwups in the Alexander? During the big battle his different shots show different helmets - looks like he did nothing else but kept changing them.

The knight's attack is one of the most mesmerizing scenes in the history of the movies.

So - you are vising Novgorod? What else? Good time to be there - the white nights season - especially if you can get further north - to St. Petersburg.
