Successful for the most part, but some of the segments drag just a bit. But I really enjoyed watching the interpretations of some historical figures. The direction and set design is also impressive, and as always Conrad Veidt is great.

Considered a lesser expressionist film it still has plenty to offer. Story isn't very interesting, more like a three simple short tales. But the film really shines in detailed expressionistic set design and cutting-edge (for that time) filming techniques like super exposure, shadow lightning effects or distorted lens that still looks great even today. Conrad Veidt gives haunting and unforgettable performance as Ivan the Terrible.

Kinda boring compared to the other Leni films I've seen. Nothing much special at all about this one, but it wasn't bad.
