Plot summary

During the last days of Stalin's reign, a doctor (Marina Hands) tries to go unnoticed in a society of mutual dread where a neighbour or colleague might "denounce" you to the authorities at any moment.But tales of her healing touch have spread and one night she is taken away, not to the infamous Lubyanka prison, but to the Kremlin to attend the ailing Comrade Stalin himself. Uncle Joe (André Dussollier), an old man racked with pain but still as watchful and deadly as a snake.

A disgusting story for a fascinating movie.

Reviewed by franbelle10 7 / 10

Good idea, imperfect realization

"An ordinary performance" is an example of these fascinating and repellent films at the same time.Fascinating by its perfectly controlled oppressive atmosphere, the uniqueness of its narrative subject, its sobriety, its conciseness. Fascinating by the historical subject, that is, the terror of the Soviet communist regime in the immediate post-war period and the Stalinist dictatorship of the end of the reign.Repellent due to the parasites that spoil the scenario (the janitor), the implausibility in certain behaviors (the near absence of the husband's reaction, for example), and especially the very unequal play of the actors.If André Dussollier plays an excellent and credible Stalin, Marina Hands is quite different, whose theatrical game fails to convince.All in all, this remains a film worth seeing, historically and philosophically interesting, and captivating.
