DVD Reviews of TSAR / CAR' by PAVEL LUNGIN [2009][ENGLISH SUBTITLES][IMPORT][ALL REGION]

DVD Review: Eisenstein honored...
Summary: 5 Stars

What can I say but that Eisenstein would be honored to see what this movie represents.

In fact, and in my own personal view, if Eisenstein were alive these days, he would probably have filmed this movie the same way.

The light and shadow play, evident homage to Sergei Eisenstein, the tenuous colors, always kept at very low intensity, not to make it too vivid or bright, but clearly reminiscent of the only color palette
included in the Ballroom scene in "Ivan the Terrible", add all the glory
and respect to the lineage of its two predecessors.

I would even go further. This can be considered the third chapter, or the third installment to "The Boyar's Plot" and "Ivan the Terrible" by Eisenstein, concluding thus the intended trilogy.

The actors are all excellent, particularly the two principal figures, Pyotr Mamonov as Ivan (whose looks strikingly resemble his predecessor, Nikolai Cherkasov), and as Philipp, the Orthodox Metropolitanate, Oleg Yankovskiy. One can guess that most of the cast comes from a true and solid theatrical background, but their theatrical skills are well put into use in this masterpiece of a movie.

The director, Pavel Semyonovich Lungin, is a worthy follower in the enormous footsteps of his legendary predecessor, Sergei Eisenstein.
His style and his technique are immaculate and show a sense of artistry
uncommon these days.

I can only say a loud Bravo, to everyone involved with this movie, since they have given us the ideal ending to "Ivan the Terrible" and
in such a way, as not to disrupt the continuity of the trilogy.

In the words of Pavel Lungin, it is a warning to the ever changing world we know today, not to relapse into the same mistakes of absolutism of the past, but work toward a more tolerant future.

I salute you, Pavel Semyonovich, and hope you will direct some more movies like these.

I own the French version of the DVD (bought at Amazon.fr) and must say I was amazed at how spectacular this single DVD is.
The image is crystal clear, the language is in Russian, in two sound versions - Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital 2.0 - and comes provided with very clear French subtitles.
Extras only include an exclusive interview with the director, Pavel Semyonovich Lungin, and is in French, not Russian. Since I understand French I had no trouble with it, but don't know if there are subtitles for this. Also included are two trailers of Pavel Lungin's other works.

Although not filled with extras, I know that this movie will entertain you. But be warned, it is not a movie for the faint-heart viewer. It contains some scenes that may shock some viewers. But I would personally rate it at a healthy PG, as long as the parents know the history of Russia and can thus explain the backgrounds and origins of the reign of Ivan.

Description of TSAR / CAR' by PAVEL LUNGIN [2009][ENGLISH SUBTITLES][IMPORT][ALL REGION]

In 16th-century Russia in the grip of chaos, Ivan the Terrible strongly believes he is vested with a holy mission. Believing he can understand and interpret the signs, he sees the Last Judgment approaching. He establishes absolute power, cruelly destroying anyone who gets in his way. During this reign of terror, Philip, the superior of the monastery on the Solovetsky Islands, a great scholar and Ivan's close friend, dares to oppose the sovereign's mystical tyranny. What follows is a clash between two completely opposite visions of the world, smashing morality and justice, God and men. A grand-scale film with excellent leading roles by Mamonov and Yankovsky.
