Visually stunning, superbly photographed by Eduard Tisse, “Alexander Nevsky“ is one of the most intense and almost surreal historical epics depicting the battle between GOOD and EVIL. Starring magnificent Nikolai Cherkasov in the title role, with the score by Sergei Prokofiev, Eisentein's "Alexander Nevsky" is, by all means, a timeless masterpiece possessing the best of what art cinema can possibly offer.
"It is impossible not to admire Eisenstein's colossal unconcern with these refinements of film-making, not to marvel at his stylistic insistence that all people walk along a sky-line, and not to wish, in the same breath, that more directors had his talent for doing great things so well…"
