Minotaur

After a nine-year hiatus in exile from Russia, Andrey Zvyagintsev (*Leviathan*, IFF 2014; *Loveless*, IFF 2017) returns with a reworking of Claude Chabrol's *La femme infidèle*, transposed to Russia in 2022 and shaped by the country's current rhetoric of patriarchy and warmongering. Gleb, a successful company director, finds his carefully ordered life buckling under corporate pressure and an increasingly volatile world, with events accelerating toward violence. Screened with thanks to MUBI. Rated 15.
