Filmfest: MINOTAUR

About the Film

Drama | 135 MIN | France, Latvia, Germany

In Russian with English subtitles

Andrey Zvyagintsev’s gripping drama follows Gleb, a wealthy Russian businessman whose suspicions about his wife’s infidelity send his family life spiraling toward shocking consequences. Meanwhile, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine presents him with an equally disturbing moral dilemma when he is ordered to supply workers for the war effort. With extraordinary performances and steadily mounting tension, MINOTAUR turns one man’s unraveling into a chilling portrait of a society where corruption, violence, and moral compromise have become frighteningly routine.
