Synopsis
Based on his own hugely successful novel of the same name, Marc
Dugain’s debut feature,
AN ORDINARY EXECUTION, is an encounter between the aging Joseph
Stalin (Andre Dussolier) and a young doctor, Anna.
Anna (Marina Hands), who has extraordinary healing powers, is
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.
Ingeniously shot to reflect the grimness of oppression, and filled
with tension and mystery, AN ORDINARY EXECUTION is a compelling
examination of the police state and a piercing insight into the mind
of the last days of a dictator.
