MEDIA LOG 2012

  1. February.

  2. MOVIE: Ivan The Terrible (1944/6)-- Sergei Eisenstein.
  3. From the handful of sound films he did, this(these? (they were conceived as a whole)) is the farthest he took it. Very different from his silent works, but yet still has many trademarks such as animal symbolism and extreme closeups, cut quite fast. Also notable because this is where he seemed to move away, albeit slowly, from propaganda and mere "character types".
