Minotaur
Andrei Zvyagintsev / FR, LV, DE, 2026 / 135 min.
Russian exile, director Andrej Zvjagintsev (Leviathan, Loveless) returns after almost a decade with another moving drama, now about a macho businessman with marital problems ensnared in Putin’s demands concerning the war in Ukraine.
Some distance from Moscow, Gleb is a successful businessman with a beautiful wife, a son and a luxury home.
When Putin attacks Ukraine in 2022, there are plenty of consequences. Friends move away, Russian men are conscripted. The mayor states that local companies should nominate employees to be added to the call-up list for the army.
This could cause problems for Glebs company and he comes up with a list of 14 unsuspecting employees who will be sent to fight. Simultaneously, he discovers his wife is having an affair. Geopolitics and domestic trouble awake Gleb’s violent, tyrannical reflexes.
