I spent more than a hour and a half in a very better way than I could expect. I already knew the topic. In 1953 Russia - Soviet Union - a woman, who is also a scientist's wife, is brought to Stalin himself in order to heal him. Because his usual doctors are all arrested and sent in jail, into the famous and terrific Loubianka. The nearly dying tyrant is more fascinating than we could expect. Andre Dussolier is here absolutely outstanding. I think he gives here his best performance ever. He shows the total perversion and ugliness of the entire soviet system. How human beings were worthless and expendables.
You may feel dizzy and very uncomfortable when you get out of this film.
Edouard Behr plays here a poignant character. He surprised me as well.
