The Road Movie
Anything can happen on Russian roads and is precisely shot by the dashboard camera.

Dashboard cam depicts life in it’s purity as an unbiased observer.

Set during the early part of his reign, Ivan faces betrayal from the aristocracy and even his closest friends as he seeks to unite the Russian people.

The second part was completed but not released for a decade after Eisenstein's death and a change of heart in the USSR government toward his work; the third part was only in its earliest stage of filming when shooting was stopped altogether.
