Additional Information

Nikolai Cherkassov stars as the legenday Alexander Nevsky in Sergei Eisenstein's masterpiece of propaganda, made with the assistance of Stalin, to stir up Soviet audiences in anticipation of a Nazi invasion. Withdrawn from release after the signing of the Hitler-Stalin pact in 1939, it returned to Russian theaters in 1941, following the commencement of hostilities. The film is set in 13th-century Russia, as the religious brotherhood of the Teutonic Knights runs rampant throughout the land. Following the brutal sack of the city of Pskov, the people of Novgorod must decide if they will fight the invaders or, like other cities, bribe them to obtain peace. Opting to fight, they call on their greatest military leader, Alexander Nevsky, who is still recuperating with his troops from defeating the Swedish army. The historic battle on the frozen surface of Lake Peipus, pitting the peasant army of Nevsky against the better-equipped German force, is one of the most impressive spectacles in film history, a visual symphony of mutual slaughter as powerful now as on the day of its release. Because of Eisenstein's use of linkage--seamless Hollywood-style editing rather than intellectual montage--and Prokofiev's evocative, rhythmically inventive score, ALEXANDER NEVSKY might be the most accessible of his films.

It is a world classic film and, despite some ham acting, well worth watching.

Alexander Nevsky
Famously made in 1938 at a time when Nazi Germany was a growing threat to Stalin's USSR, one of the most significant features of this film is its evident age. Clearly, any film from the 1930's will feel somewhat dated, but "Alexander Nevsky" is cursed by the melodramatic posturing of its acting style - it looks more like a throwback to the era of silent movies, or even to the Victorian stage or early 20th century opera. Indeed, it is the operatic comparison which most intrigues me. The film is famous for its score by Prokofiev - a dynamic, passionate work in its own right. Eisenstein has a reputation for crafting films which have extraordinary visual quality - the battle on the ice is one of the great iconic images of cinema.

Famously made in 1938 at a time when Nazi Germany was a growing threat to Stalin's USSR, one of the most significant features of this film is its evident age. Clearly, any film from the 1930's will feel somewhat dated, but "Alexander Nevsky" is cursed by the melodramatic posturing of its acting style - it looks more like a throwback to the era of silent movies, or even to the Victorian stage or early 20th century opera. Indeed, it is the operatic comparison which most intrigues me. The film is famous for its score by Prokofiev - a dynamic, passionate work in its own right. Eisenstein has a reputation for crafting films which have extraordinary visual quality - the battle on the ice is one of the great iconic images of cinema. What we get, here, is a spectacular black and white film, with a spectacular score, but the human element is a stereotyped presence ... a handful of principals backed by a solid chorus, but none of them bursting into song. The propaganda element is obvious. Alexander Nevsky was a Russian leader who fought off invading Swedes, Poles, and Germans, at a time when his country was most threatened by the Tartars - they exacted an annual tribute to ensure their continued passivity. Setting up a confrontation between Russian and Germanic forces was an obvious parallel in 1938. Nevsky inspired the peasantry to fight - the Communists could identify with that. And Eisenstein portrays the Germans, the Teutonic knights, as faceless creatures, heads encased in steel, rigidly uniformed with prominent crosses on their cloaks and shields. But the propaganda went wrong. Stalin signed a pact with Hitler. The film was hastily shelved ... then just as rapidly reproduced when the Germans invaded. Thereafter, it became a major propaganda tool, welcomed around the world, and draws parallels with Olivier's "Henry V" in England. Both films, of course, have iconic battle images (the French cavalry brought to their aristocratic knees by the longbow and English yeomen). Both films benefit from their artistic credentials - a Shakespeare script, a Prokofiev score. But the acting in "Alexander Nevsky" is execrable. Eisenstein's film is stylistically very dated - it retains that silent movie feel. He uses images to suggest the vastness of Russia, he uses images to suggest the potency of its vast population and their strength when they come together to resist tyrants. He uses the strength of the musical score to underpin his images and reduce the dialogue to a minimum. It makes the actors mere artefacts and reduces the conflict to a clash of empires and ideologies rather than a battle between flesh and blood. The battle scenes show their age - they are visually striking, but they are poorly choreographed by modern standards. What you are presented with are stereotypes of strength, courage, loyalty, duty, obedience, and the honour and righteousness of the Russian cause. "Alexander Nevsky" is an important film, a milestone in European cinema. It deserves to be watched, critically. It has elements which are extraordinarily potent, and acting which reduces much of the film to bland insignificance. It needs to be viewed in its context - political and historical - and to be recognised as a film which deserves respect, but which is not above criticism.
