Minotaur

Russia, 2022. Gleb runs a successful business and lives with his wife Galina and their son in a provincial town. When the war in Ukraine breaks out, he is tasked with designating employees for mobilization to the front line. As the pressure on his company and surroundings mounts, Gleb discovers that his wife is having an affair. His carefully built life slowly begins to implode and threatens to turn into violence. Almost ten years after Loveless, Andrey Zvyagintsev (Leviathan, The Return) returns with a chilling political thriller, loosely inspired by Claude Chabrols La Femme infidèle. An intimate marital crisis grows into a much broader reflection on a society in which war, power, and violence increasingly penetrate everyday life. The title refers to the mythical monster hiding in the labyrinth – and to what emerges when a human being is pushed further and further into a corner. Minotaur won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival and is the official French entry for the Oscar for Beste Internationale Film. Absolute must-see of the year! Also discover The Return and The Banishment. In December we are still screening Loveless and Leviathan.
