Leviathan ( Leviafan )
Nominated for an Oscar and winner of the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, 'Leviathan' is a gripping parable of class, faith and corruption. Kolia lives with his family in a coastal village near the Barents Sea in Northern Russia, but the family's world is under threat: Vadim Sergeyich, the town Mayor, has slapped a compulsory acquisition order on Kolia's prime land, earmarking the site for a development. "This magnificent, exasperating movie is on the longish side, partly so that the devastating cost of absolute power can be announced again and again." - New York Times
