The Story:
In the twilight of Imperial Russia, enigmatic Siberian monk Rasputin (Pierre Brasseur) rises from debauched mysticism to court power by healing the hemophiliac heir, earning the desperate Czarina’s favor and manipulating appointments amid the crumbling empire.
His anti-war stance and scandalous orgies spark noble outrage as Prince Youri leads a monarchist conspiracy to end his grip on the throne.
Yet even the monk’s gruesome assassination arrives too late to halt the revolutionary storm that will topple the Romanovs in this gripping 1954 historical drama.
