ENGL.

The film ‘Alexander Nevsky’ is one of Sergei Eisenstein's best works. 

It is a historical film about the outstanding Russian commander who defeated the Knights of the Teutonic Order. 

Prince Alexander's ingenious plan and the courage of his warriors brought victory to his army at the Battle of Lake Peipsi in 1242.

Sergei Prokofiev wrote the music for the film and created a complete symphony with a choral part. Subsequently, the symphony ‘Alexander Nevsky’ was often performed as an independent piece of music.

‘Alexander Nevsky’ laid the foundation for the use of a variety of techniques that are still popular today in the age of computer technology. In addition to the master of cinematography Sergei Eisenstein, the talented cameraman Eduard Tisse also worked on the film. 

His cameraman's method of shooting the fight scenes and movements dynamically made it possible to create the impression that the viewer was present in the picture.

The film was quoted many times, its costumes served as a model for many costume designers, and one of its fight scenes was completely recreated in one of the parts of the film ‘The Lord of the Rings’.
