HistoryDrama

Set in 16th‑century Russia, the film follows Ivan the Terrible, convinced of a divine mission and the imminent Last Judgment, as he seizes absolute power and ruthlessly eliminates opposition. His close friend, Philip, the abbot of the Solovetsky monastery, challenges Ivan’s mystical tyranny, sparking a clash of opposing worldviews that pits morality against autocracy. Mamonov and Yankovsky deliver strong performances in this grand‑scale allegory of Stalinist Russia.
