Review of Leviathan (2014) by Romanvartanov — 07 Feb 2015
The film is a weak attempt to picture Russia as hell on earth. The director Zvyagintsev simply used ther anti-Russian moods spread by western media in order to gain popularity in the west.
The charachters act unnaturally and do things which people just don't. People do not act like this. They might be bad and corrupt but they if they want to evict you the would never come to your house and call you an insect - what for? The mayer would never obey a priest. The influence of church is so much exaggerated in the movie...
The man just had a bad cheating wife. His friend lawyer and the mayor just act inadequately.
By the way, it is plagirised from Dogville.
