The Wizard of the Kremlin

Jude Law and Alicia Vikander star in Olivier Assayas’ highly topical and grand thriller about four decades of political maneuvering in Russia.

In the post-Soviet and fragile democratic era of the 1990s – marked by punk, poetry, and performance art – a young artistic intellectual with a background in theatre and reality TV (Paul Dano) unexpectedly becomes a spin doctor for Vladimir Putin. At the heart of power, he plays a part in shaping the new Russia, blurring the lines between truth and lies, conviction and manipulation. Assayas’ adaptation of the bestselling novel of the same name delivers gripping, true-to-life fiction, and Jude Law offers a chilling portrayal of power in the role of Putin.
