Ivan (1932 film)


Ivan is a 1932 Soviet drama film directed by Alexander 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.
Alexander Dovzhenko received a Special Jury Prize for the film at the 2nd Venice International Film Festival.
