- Summary:
- From Karen Shakhnazarov, director of ZEROGRAD, ASSASSIN OF THE TSAR is a mysterious and labyrinthine psychological drama in which the tormented chambers of a patient's mind come to warp everything around him, even the folds of history itself. In one of his finest latter-day performances, Malcolm McDowell (A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, TIME AFTER TIME) stars as Timofeyev, a severe schizophrenic in a dreary Soviet mental hospital who is convinced that, impossibly, he's the killer of two Tsars: Alexander II in 1881 and Nicholas II in 1918. The sympathetic head of the hospital, Dr. Smirnov (the great Russian actor Oleg Yankovskiy) is determined to cure Timofeyev of his madness - but instead finds himself literally pulled back through time, inhabiting the ghosts of the past as they march towards their tragic destiny. This restored release of Shakhnazarov's fascinating, time-traveling mystery features the Russian-language version (102 minutes) with McDowell's voice dubbed and the rest of the cast speaking their native Russian, and a different score.
