Ivan

1932 · 103 min · dir. Oleksandr Dovzhenko

Ivan is a 1932 Soviet drama film directed by Aleksandr Dovzhenko. After the critical lambasting of his film Earth by the Soviet authorities, Dovzhenko returned with a more popular iteration of its main motifs. Much like Earth, Ivan concerns itself with the natural rhythms of country life, disrupted by the beat of looming industrialisation. Synopsis from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA.
