What Ivan the Terrible, Part II: The Boyars' Plot Is About
Eisenstein finished this second part in 1946 and it sat banned for twelve years, reaching audiences only after both he and Stalin were dead. The reason is on screen. Ivan here is not a giant building a state but a man crushed under the violence he created, ruling through suspicion. The boyars plot to kill him while he raises a private guard of his own, and the film declines to grant either side the moral advantage. The banquet erupts into colour, shot on captured stock, then falls back to black and white.
