यस चलचित्रका बारेमा

Based on his own hugely successful novel of the same name, Marc Dugain's debut feature, An Ordinary Execution, is an encounter between the ageing Joseph Stalin (Andre Dussolier) and a young doctor. Anna (Marina Hands) has extraordinary healing powers, brought in to treat the escalating physical woes of the dictator's old age after his own doctor has been "purged." Seen entirely through Anna's eyes, he lays bare his philosophy of terror- rambling, plotting, intimidating.
