Description: 1996 drama Rasputin also known as Rasputin Dark Servant of Destiny and also known as Le Fin de Romanov starring Alan Rickman, Greta Scacchi, Ian McKellen, David Warner, John Wood and directed by Uli Edel. The Story: Alexi, son of Tsar Nicholas II and wife Alexandra and sole heir to the Romanov dynasty, is suffering from hemophilia. Conventional medicine of the era is failing to help him. Alexandra looks for other treatments and finds Father Grigori Rasputin. Rasputin was a destitute monk who claimed he had a vision from the Virgin Mary telling him that the Tsar needed his help. Though Nicholas and the royal doctors are skeptical of Rasputin's healing abilities, young Alexei quickly bonds with the charlatan-prophet. 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, a bad end awaits the entire royal family. Comment: Gorgeous cinematography with wonderful contrasting colors illustrate the richness of the Romanov life and the bleak coldness of the Siberian plains and conditions of the common people of Russia. Alan Rickman is sensational as Rasputin, portraying the moody and incoherent monk with zeal. Per the label, the film running time is 100 minutes. The film is presented in full screen 4:3 format; English audio with no subtitles. The opening and ending credits are in French, as are several chapter titles throughout the film.
