This film truly changed Gérard's life — afterward, he fell in love with Russia and became a Russian citizen. However, don't expect a miracle here. From the very first scenes, it's clear how the story will unfold. The standout element, and by far the biggest plus, is Gérard's mesmerizing performance. Otherwise, it doesn’t reveal anything new about Rasputin that you didn't already know.
