En la Rusia de fin de siglo XIX, con el Imperio al borde de la revolución, un hombre cambiará la historia para siempre. Es Rasputin, y le llaman el monje loco, pero muchos creen en sus poderes sobrenaturales, los cuales dicen que han salvado la vida del hijo del zar. Su influencia no tiene límites y tampoco su ambición. El mundo no será el mismo cuando alcance el poder. (Lider Films S.A.)

The film is a mess... The life story of the adventurer, charmer, mystifier, and manipulator Grigori Rasputin is so fascinating that it is unbelievable how such an incredibly average film could be made based on such material. It takes real directorial talent for that... One can only wonder what someone like Miloš Forman could have done with this subject matter... The only reason to watch Rasputin is the excellent performance by Alan Rickman in the lead role. Greta Scacchi is so unremarkable that I felt sorry for Rasputin having to interact with the Tsarina. Even the actors in supporting roles were not interesting when it came to their acting performance, so the film will quickly fade from the memories of most viewers. The only positive may be the effort to stick to historical facts and avoid fictionalizing. However, the downfall of the Tsarist Empire is merely a backdrop for personal drama, so the film does not hold up even as a teaching aid for history lessons. Overall rating, with (significant) regard for Rickman's performance: 45%.
