I don't think there is a thread posted about this film, so I'll begin one. This is a little-known movie starring the British actor Malcolm McDowall as a man who is a patient in a mental asylum (at the time the film was made, 1991), who thinks that he is the murderer of both Nicholas II and his family, as well as Alexander II, reincarnated. His doctor, attempting to bring him back to reality, finds himself slipping back into his patient's mind and the events of the summer of 1918 in Russia. In his hope to cure the man of his mental disorder, he discovers some surprising facts.
I should forewarn you that this movie is hard to find. I was able to find it at a local video store, but when I look in most Movie, Video or DVD guides, it is not mentioned in most of them. I haven't checked yet if it is available online. It is available either in Russian with English subtitles, or dubbed.
What I liked about it was the sensitive portrayal of the Imperial Family, and how the actress who portrayed OTMA (particularily the ones who played Olga and Tatiana) quite closely resembled them. But again, the girls were not given much to do. The director of this movie is Karen Shakhnazara, and the Russian title of it is "Tsareubjtsa". If anyone has anymore info as to whether it is available online, or has feedback or suggestions, feel free to reply!!!!!
