Leviathan

Winner of Best Film at the 2014 London Film Festival, the latest film from Andrey Zvyagintsev is a study of corrupt politics in modern Russia.

Winner of Best Film at the 2014 London Film Festival and a screenplay award at Cannes, the latest film from acclaimed director Andrey Zvyagintsev (Elena, The Return) is a gripping and complex study of corrupt politics in contemporary Russia.

Set on a remote peninsula near Russia’s border with Finland, it follows a family’s attempts to resist the compulsory purchase of their home by the local mayor. The result is a complex, richly layered and immersive drama that’s as epic and imposing as its title suggests.
