Plot

The tsar and the boyars; made in 1946 and held back until 1958.

Sinekatalog’s take

Sergei Eisenstein's second part plunges the tsar into the intrigues of the boyars, in a darker, more expressionist film. Made in 1946 and held back until 1958, with its colour banquet scene, it is a bold, stylised and menacing work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
