Anastasia

Film · 1997

Ten years after she was separated from her family, an eighteen-year-old orphan with vague memories of the past sets out to Paris in hopes of reuniting with her grandmother. She is accompanied by two con men, who intend to pass her off as the Grand Duchess Anastasia to the Dowager Empress for a reward.

Anastasia is good for you if…

  • you like a love story between an orphan and the con man who found her.
  • you like big Broadway-style songs about home and memory.
  • you like 1920s Paris and a Saint Petersburg ball drawn like a dream.

Anastasia is bad for you if…

  • you don't watch animated films.
  • you want the real story of the Romanovs, not a fairy tale.
