SLOW, BUT TEPID


Although it was considered a major runner for the foreign-language flick at this year’s ”Oscars”, ”Leviathan” isn’t a good movie. Its subject that depicts every possible stereotype about the Russian society is very politically favorable when it comes to American audience, but that’s not the worst aspect of this flick.

”Leviathan” is artistically astonishing, with all of its wide angles and stark landscape of northern Russia, but it is also one very, very slow and boring script with no beginning, no end and no point. Acting is pretty much mediocre, as well as the rare dialogues.

Russian modern cinema is in a big crisis and ”Leviathan” sure does not offer the light at the end of the tunnel.
