Cannes 2014 review: Leviathan - a new Russian masterpiece

Andrei Zvyagintsev's latest is a very strong contender for the Palme d'Or – a mix of Hobbes, Chekhov and the Bible, and full of extraordinary images and magnificent symmetry


Andrei Zvyagintsev's Leviathan is a sober and compelling tragic drama of corruption and intimidation in contemporary Russia, set in a desolate widescreen panorama. This is a movie which seems to be influenced by the Old Testament and Elia Kazan; it starts off looking like a reasonably scaled drama about a little guy taking on big government. Then it escalates to a new plane in which man is taking on the biggest, most cruel and implacable government of all, and the final sequence of devastation must surely be influenced by the final moments of Tarkovsky's The Sacrifice.

Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston star in this story of vampires that have been in love for centuries. Directed by Jim Jarmusch.

(I would usually ignore this one based on the plot alone, but I like all three people named).


THE GREEN INFERNO
