Book Presentation:
Ivan The Terrible (1944/46) was envisaged as a trilogy, but, its director Sergei Eisenstein died before begining production on the third part. This book offers an insight into Eisenstein's grand project. Tsivian reconstructs the director's "mental film" that underlies the finished work.
