Aleksandr Nevskiy (Alexander Nevsky) is not central to Eisenstein’s theory of montage and is not considered to be one of his most important works, at least critically. Yet the film exhibits a powerful folkloric spirit in its single-minded, patriotic call to unity in resisting German invasion. Alexander Nevsky is widely celebrated for its astounding 30-minute "Battle on the Ice" sequence that influenced a generation of filmmakers in constructing historical battles.
