The Plot Boiardo (Ivan Grozny - 1945) - part 2

This second part was completed in 1945 but only released in 1958.

In these images Ivan begs not to let Phil Monaco, but to be faithful servant, after he ordered the Czar to repent of his choices. The movements of the actor Cherkasov and the custom of the pastor are referred to in the painting by Lebedev.

The sequence of the feast is developed through explosions of light and color, with distinct contrasts between the red and black, these colors symbolize the violence and death. Here Eisenstein puts into practice the concepts theorized in his numerous writings on color theory.

This is the only sequence of color throughout the film. Was shot with Agfa film, spoils of war the Red Army.

The director goes from natural tones with sudden splashes of color that invade the faces of the actors.

Eisenstein, for the creation of an entire sequence, drew from 'arts of the Russian' 800. But for the gestures and hand movements, the film follows closely some works of the Italian Renaissance. In the conspiracy of the boyars you can see a couple of shots that refer to Leonardo and Michelangelo.
