Do you remember the opening sequence, where Nevsky tells the Mongol ambassador that Russia "has always looked both ways, the west and the east"?

Do you think Eisenstein's films influenced "Dr. Zhivago"?

I've only seen clips of Dr. Zhivago. :oops: I don't know if that has the same impressive, menacing visuals as Eisenstein creates.

Rent it if at all possible - it's an amazing film to watch without interruption and on a decent TV.

More of the "vast landscape of Russia". The opening scene of Zhivago, where the humans occupy the bottom 5% of the screen, looks much like some of Serge's shots in Nevsky.

I guess I gotta get Netflix, but my home stay is almost over.

Maanwhile:


The birch tree forests etc of Zhivago were filmed in Finland.
wiki
Most of the scenes covering Zhivago and Lara's service in World War I were filmed in Soria, as was the Varykino estate. Due to uncooperative weather in Spain, some of the winter sequences were filmed in Finland, mostly landscape scenes, and Yuri's escape from the Partisans. Winter scenes of the family travelling to Yuriatin by rail were filmed in Canada.

The "ice-palace" at Varykino was filmed in Soria as well, a house filled with frozen beeswax. The charge of the Partisans across the frozen lake was filmed in Spain as well; a cast iron sheet was placed over a dried river-bed, and fake snow (mostly marble dust) was added on top. Most of the winter scenes were filmed in warm temperatures, sometimes of up to 30 °C (90 °F).

Well - if you decide to rent it, get Battleship Potemkin and make it a double feature. :tup:
