Leviathan (2014)
10/10
Remarkable
15 November 2014
Say you have a beautiful wife, a beautiful view from your living room, a clean life and conscience, no power and an empty account. You will end up like a whale on sand: big and impressive, but waiting to die. All you have left are your own tears.

This isn't Jov's story; today there's no after, no divine will. It is what happens to Jov'story when there's no God left. Beautiful scenery, good performance, extraordinary story without any flow. And an slick cheating lawyer, an arrogant priest, a dishonorable politician.

BTW, excellent portrayal of current state of affairs in Russia, though it may be almost anywhere, in any corrupt country. What matters in the end are money and power.
