Ivan the Terrible (2022)

Sergei Eisenstein’s final film, was a projected three-part historical epic/biopic on Czar Ivan Grozny commissioned by Joseph Stalin, documenting the tyrannical tsar’s rise to power and descent into paranoia and madness. Eisenstein managed to complete the first two parts of the trilogy, but the second film was banned by the USSR until 1958, halting production of the Part III. After Eisenstein’s death in 1948, most of what was filmed for Part III was seized and destroyed.
