Review of Leviathan (2014) by Netflic — 12 Jan 2015
It is a serious philosophical drama that takes place in a North-Western part of Russia known as Kola peninsula.
Dynamics between a family, a local authority, and Russian Orthodox church are the focus of the film. Lack of justice, corruption, moral and physical decline in the post Soviet Russia - that's what the movie is about.
Everything looks and feels authentic: real people, real drama, real vodka (plenty of it, plenty of black humor too).
It is clear that Kolya's story (Kolya is a protagonist) is a typical one. Life is bleak and difficult, and the future seems even darker.
It is a powerful movie that touches the soul and disturbs the mind.
