Biography

Né le 1er avril 1897 à Liepāja dans le gouvernement de Courlande, aujourd'hui en Lettonie, Édouard Tissé se passionne très tôt pour la peinture. C'est à la fin de ses études d'art et de photographie, en 1914, que Tissé devient réalisateur officiel au front pour l'armée russe. Après la Révolution russe, en 1918, il sera chargé de photographier la fête du 1er mai et le premier anniversaire de la Révolution de 1917. Il continue de 1918 à 1924 en travaillant en qualité d'opérateur-chroniqueur qui rend compte de la conquête de la Crimée avant la défaite de Piotr Wrangel en novembre 1920, du 2e congrès de L'Internationale Communiste du 17 juillet au 7 août 1920, du 3e congrès de l'Internationale Communiste de juin au 12 août 1921. Responsable de la section cinématographique du premier « agit-train » créé par Lénine (un train qui sillonnait toute la Russie et qui répandait la propagande de l'État), il rencontre Dziga Vertov avec lequel il réalisera des documentaires. La même année, il est aussi le caméraman du premier film de fiction produit par l'État soviétique, Le Signal, réalisé par Alexandre Arkatov. En 1921, Édouard Tissé commence à enseigner à l'Institut national de la cinématographie. À partir de 1924, il devient le caméraman et le directeur de la photographie de tous les films de Sergueï Eisenstein. Au mois de mars-avril 1926, avec Eisenstein ils entament leur voyage en Europe par la visite des studios UFA à Berlin. Ils le poursuivent, en août 1930, en compagnie de Grigori Aleksandrov aux États-Unis, où ils participent aux projets The Glass House, Sutter's Gold, An American Tragedy et d'autres encore à Hollywood. Leur trio est allé jusqu'au Mexique. Là, les séquences du film ¡Que viva México! ont été tournées, mais le film ne sera toutefois pas achevé du vivant d'Eisenstein. Comme réalisateur Tissé fera en tout et pour tout trois films (voir la filmographie) et sera récompensé par le titre de travailleur émérite des arts par arrêté de Comité Exécutif Central de l'URSS en 1935 et par le Prix Staline à trois reprises, en 1946, 1949 et 1950. On lui remet également le diplôme d'honneur au Festival de Venise, en 1956, pour son film La Garnison immortelle. La caméra préférée de Tissé était une Parvo Debrie, il continuait à l'utiliser même à l'époque du cinéma parlant, notamment pour filmer les séquences de Alexandre Nevski. Il meurt à Moscou en novembre 1961. Il est inhumé au Cimetière de Novodevitchi.

Part I begins with Ivan's coronation as Tsar of all the Russias, amid grumbling from the boyars. Ivan makes a speech proclaiming his intent to unite and protect Russia against the foreign armies outside her borders and the enemies within - a reference to the boyars, who are already seen as discontented with his coronation. Shortly after, the scene changes to Ivan's wedding celebration in which he marries Anastasia Romanovna. This causes him to lose the friendship of his two best friends, Prince Andrei Kurbsky and Fyodor Kolychev. The latter receives Ivan's permission to retire to a monastery, while Kurbsky attempts to resume his romance with the Tsarina, who repels his advances.

The Teutonic Knights invade and conquer the city of Pskov with the help of the traitor Tverdilo and massacre its population. In the face of resistance by the boyars and merchants of Novgorod (urged on by the monk Ananias), Nevsky rallies the common people of Novgorod and in a decisive Battle of the Ice, on the surface of the frozen Lake Peipus or Chudskoe, they defeat the Teutonic knights. The story ends in the retaken Pskov where the ordinary foot-soldiers are set free, the surviving Teutonic knights will be held for ransom and Tverdilo is swarmed over by the vengeful people (and supposedly torn to pieces).

The film opens with a montage of scenes of elemental violence—crashing waves and falling trees alternate with images of trees speeding past as if viewed from a motorcar. The imagery gradually changes to more tranquil vistas of clouds, grass swaying in a breeze, and rippling water. The first interior shot shows a woman silhouetted against a window. There are several shots of a fireplace and of clocks and their pendulums. The woman moves from the window to a piano, and begins singing a Russian song. Partway through her song, she is surrounded by starbursts and the dark, indoor setting of the scene is replaced by radiant clouds. Images of swans are intercut with images of Rodin sculptures. Eventually the indoor setting returns and rain is seen falling against the night sky. After an interval, the sun is shown moving through the sky, and the singer finishes her song as flowering nature reappears.

A Russian outpost in Eastern Siberia comes under threat of attack by the Japanese in this patriotic film from 1935. Aerograd is a new town with a strategically located airfield of vital interest to the government. Work on the new outpost is complicated when tensions develop between workers and a religious sect. The sect threatens to give their support to a band of marauding samurai warriors who battle for control of the region. Relations between the two countries are further strained in the days before World War II, dating back to the Russo-Japanese War of 1905. In this feature, the Russians are victorious as airplanes throughout the country come to the aid of the beleaguered new town. Director Alexander Dovzhenko, long considered a giant in Russian classic cinema, also wrote the screenplay for this feature.
