Leviathan

Andrei Zvyagintsev / RU, 2014 / 140 min.

In this loose interpretation of the Book of Job, an ordinary man doesn’t struggle with his belief in God, but with the Russian state. What follows is an epic battle against the many-faced monster that has the power to bend the law to its will.

Resistance is futile, yet the lead persists in his legal battle to stop the mayor taking his little plot of land, even when everything around him is crumbling and he is entangled in bureaucratic chains.
