This review is from: The Romanovs: An Imperial Family (Romanovy: Ventsenosnaya Semya) - with ENGLISH subtitles (Import) (DVD)

Documenting the last days of the Romanov Dynasty the film shows Tsar Nicholas and his family in the last year of thier lives from the abdication of the Tsar to the brutal murder of the Imperial family at the hands of the Bolshivicks at the House of Special Purposes. The film shows the Imperail family as loving and tight. They are completely isloated and have only themselves to be around. While the film may be somewhat over sentimental towards the Imperial family and tries to reconsile Russia with its Communist past this film is by far the most accurate potrayal yet. A film that cannot be missed for all history lovers and those interested in the Romanovs.

This review is from: The Romanovs: An Imperial Family (Romanovy: Ventsenosnaya Semya) - with ENGLISH subtitles (Import) (DVD)

This movie is much better than Nicholas and Alexandra. It has a more authentic overtone, since it is a Russian production, yet it is has English subtitles for those who cannot understand Russian. It is just over two hours long, and documents the Russian royal family's existence from Nicholas's abdication on March 1/14, 1917 to the family's tragic demise on the night of July 16/17, 1918.

This review is from: The Romanovs: An Imperial Family (Romanovy: Ventsenosnaya Semya) - with ENGLISH subtitles (Import) (DVD)

This DVD is a fascinating insight into the Romanov family. The actors, especially Tsar Nicholas, were fabulous. Of course, we all know how it ends. But watching it, after understanding how kind, generous and noble the family was, made me tear up. So brutal and unjust.

If you are a Romanov or a history fan, get this DVD.
