Such is the surprising encounter we might have today with the magnificent Chinese Buddhist stele placed in the narrow Chinese Loggia, a poetic...

Alexander Nevsky
Presented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive May 28, 2012 Eisenstein created this rousing nationalist epic of medieval Slavs driving out Teutonic invaders. Despite the screen time devoted to a belabored comic subplot concerning a love triangle, Alexander Nevsky remains one of his most popular and influential films. The film provides endless examples of Eisenstein’s genius not just at combining shots but at composing them as well, while the battle scenes demonstrate his continued mastery at choreographing electrifying action. The use of an...
