Les S Really slow and in Russian or French Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Kyle M Through baseless injustice and atmospheric scenery, the sharply scripted crime drama is well-performed that elevates perceptual justification in response to its social commentary realized under general terms. (B) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Pantera O I'll step out for a smoke" Una familia rusa es victima de un enemigo silencioso. Intrigante. Lenta. Profunda. Con una nula ambientación músical, solo con algunos pocos efectos de sonido y el ambiente natural. Planos largos y contemplativos, que expresan el constante misterio e incertidumbre de la trama. El agua expresa lo desconocido, y el hogar de la mitica bestia. Cuando situa a los personajes de frente del mar, situa a la bestia detras de ellos. Personaje se golpea en la cabeza con el techo por ser muy alto, cambia el montaje en otra conversación, con la imagen del paisaje del mar parcialmente abierto dice, "It fits", vuelve a aparecer personaje sobre la imagen del paisaje parcialmente abierto. Otra conversación, hace un sonido de dragón en su exhalacion y dice "You are playing with fire". 1 bala fallida = a un trago, ese juego esta bueno. La señora bien chismosa y sensaciónalista, que termina por "adoptar" al niño, diciendo que no es por el dinero. La corrupción y poder de los políticos, y la falsa idea de justicia. La monstruosidad del ser. El verdadero monstruo es el capitalismo, la busqueda de poder y de dinero. Crea tensión a traves de las imagenes que poco a poco van revelando su significado, te pone a reflexionar sobre muliples situaciones que te llevan a pensar en la crudesa de la realidad, violenta y despiadada, donde los poderosos someten a los mas debiles. Es cine 🚬. ¿Un cuento de hadas? Todo el poder viene de Dios Técnica: 7.8 Expresión: 8.6 Efecto: 9.0 Experiencia: 8.0 Calificación: 8.3/10 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Luke C In all fairness, compared to Deep Star Six, Leviathan is a better shot movie, for sure. But, for some reason in my own personal perspective, DSS just entertains me more. The characters play out as more fun, and the creature is more mysterious. Leviathan is over the top. Deep Star Six is my own cult classic. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review William L Eastern European filmmakers and bleak, dramatic films steeped in Biblical allegory, name a more iconic duo. You know a film touches a nerve when your national Ministry of Culture (a partial source of funds for the project) proposes guidelines after it is released to ban films that "defile" the national culture. While Leviathan is built off of the unique blend of corruption in the Russian state - a blending of political and cultural sway, particularly surrounding religious identity - the conflict is based around much more universal themes, particularly greed, dishonesty, and hypocrisy. There's a distinct air of hopelessness that hangs over the events of the film; while multiple characters argue that the presence of God is in all things and trust in the divine is the key to happiness, these characters are either powerless themselves, or benefit from the complacency they preach. Every spark of justice and morality that pops up is quickly snuffed out by a well-oiled machine designed to keep the status quo intact. There's not a happy moment to be found here. Not in this place. (4/5) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/15/22 Full Review dave s Andrey Zvyagintsev's Leviathan appears to be a sweeping condemnation of oligarchs and Russian society under Vladamir Putin's rule, but once the bureaucratic greed and slime is wiped away, one realizes it is about much more than corruption and the abuse of power. The film takes place in a small fishing village in northern Russia, where a powerful and corrupt mayor uses his considerable influence with the courts and the church to appropriate the land belonging to a villager whose family has lived in the area for multiple generations. Beautifully shot, it's a powerful and quietly subversive film that sheds light on the unimaginable pain inflicted on those who are simply trying to scratch out a life in an inhospitable land under an unjust government.
