Day 197: Don’t Get in His Way
Rasputin (1996)
Director: Uli Edel
In 1910s Russia, Tsar Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra find their son Alexei, sole heir to the Romanov dynasty, suffering from hemophelia and conventional medicine failing to help him. Alexandra looks into finding holistic treatment and finds Father Grigori Rasputin, a destitute monk who claims he had a vision from the Virgin Mary telling him that the Tsar needed him. Though Nicholas and the royal doctor are both skeptical of Rasputin’s alleged healing abilities, young Alexei quickly bonds with the charleton/prophet, so he remains in the Royal Court. But Rasputin’s constant boozing and womanizing angers the aristocracy and worsens the already unstable tensions between Nicholas and his subjects. With the seeds of revolution brewing, it becomes increasingly apparent that a bad end awaits for the entire Royal Family. Written by Ronos.
Saw it a long time ago, but it was today on the tv and couldn’t resist.
I watch it mostly for Alan Rickman; also Ian McKellen does a fantastic work.
Actually, that movie would be pretty “trashy” if there hadn’t been 2 marvellous actors: Norman “Nahman” Reedus and Alan-f*cking-Rickman, and amazing ending. God bless that ending!
it’s damn spoiler, but what can I do?
Exactly my reaction.
I need to re-watch this.
WHERE IS THIS FROM?!
Dan Radcliffe visits Alan Rickman backstage after Alan’s performance on “Seminar”. And possibly also brought him flowers, too.
