Leviathan
Andrey Zvyagintsev, Russia 2014, 141 mins
Rating: M violences, sexual references
“It’s a film of ferocious political rage, railing against Russia’s corrupt masters, but it’s also mysterious and poetic, eventually opening out to metaphysical perspectives. And while it’s deeply contemplative, its narrative fairly barrels along. For a killer combination of energy, imagination and visionary cinematic power, Leviathan fairly lives up to its name.”
