Acontroversial costume drama about the last Russian emperor's romance with a Polish ballerina will begin showing in cinemas on Thursday, under heightened security following firebombings and threats.
Director Alexei Uchitel's film, Matilda, tells the story of the fling between Nicholas II and ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya before his marriage to Alix of Hesse, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria and accession to the throne.
But its sex scenes involving the tsar, who was killed by the Bolsheviks and sainted by the Russian Orthodox church in 2010, touched off a firestorm ahead of its release in this increasingly conservative country.
