he thought this was his best work. Most critics disagree but after time and many viewings of Eisenstein's works I have come to agree.

I prefer the rawness and direct immediacy of Eisenstein's "Strike" and "Battleship Potemkin." That being said, I think all of Eisenstein's films are simply amazing. His work stands head and shoulders above almost everyone else's. There is not a shot in any of his films that does not have the stamp of genius on it. Watching "Ivan the Terrible, Part I" last night, I kept laughing at the audacity of his vision, and his ability to carry it out. I can't wait for "The Boyar's Plot" to air on TCM next weekend.
