MOVIE REVIEW
Leviathan (2014)
“Leviathan” suggests an entire nation marooned in state of despair. Andrey Zvyagintsev’s new inquiry into the wrong turns taken by modern Russia reaches much the same conclusions as his previous ones, but tells a more explicitly political tale in the process — which makes the fate of the little people caught in the wash seem even more pitiable and inescapable than ever.
