From Karen Shakhnazarov, director of Zerograd, ASSASSIN OF THE TSAR is a mysterious and Iabyrinthine psychological drama in which the tormented chambers of a patient’s mind come to warp everything around him, even the foIds of history itseIf. ln one of his finest latter-day performances, the great MaIcolm McDoweII (A CIockwork Orange, Time After Time) stars as Timofeyev, a severe schizophrenic in a dreary Soviet mental hospitaI who is convinced that, impossibIy, he’s the killer of two Tsars: Alexander lI in 1881 and Nicholas lI in 1918. The thoughtfuI new head of the hospitaI, Dr. Smirnov (OIeg Yankovskiy) is determined to cure Timofeyev of his madness – but instead finds himseIf IiteralIy puIIed back through time, inhabiting the ghosts of the past as they march towards their tragic destiny.
