watching Ben Whishaw eat his own cum on a giant movie screen at Cannes is one of those magical little moments in the life of a film critic that makes you think "i'm technically at work right now."
Directed by Kirill Serebrennikov
An atmospheric, gritty period film.
A revolutionary militant, a thug, an underground writer, a butler to a millionaire in Manhattan. But also a switchblade-waving poet, a lover of beautiful women, a warmonger, a political agitator, and a novelist who wrote of his greatness. Eduard Limonov’s life story is a journey through Russia, America, and Europe during the second half of the 20th century.
Limonov: The Ballad is showing in 1 cinema in Bucharest - next screening Wednesday 28 October at 17:30 at Cinema Muzeul Țăranului.

how does one make such a politically vague movie about a political writer
This is kinda like the opposite of Paddington
It follows the turbulent life of the radical writer and political agitator across Russia, New York, and Europe during the second half of the twentieth century.
It was directed by Kirill Serebrennikov in 2024, known for his visually striking theatrical style and previous festival entries.
