Rider Named Death

Compelling and eerily timely historical drama from director Karen Shakhnazarov stars Andrei Panin as the head of a violent anarchist group working to overthrow the Czarist regime in early 20th-century Russia. As they repeatedly try─and fail─to assassinate a relatively unimportant grand duke, the members of the terrorist band start to question their methods and motives. Based on Boris Savinkov's autobiographical novel "The Pale Horse," the film also stars Kseniya Rappoport, Artyom Semakin. 106 min. Soundtrack: Russian; Subtitles: English; filmography; theatrical trailer. In Russian with English subtitles.
