Updated Apr 9"There’s a new film coming from Russian master Andrey Zvyagintsev, called “Minotaur,” and it’s going to premiere at Cannes next month. MUBI just bought U.S. rights for the film, hoping it’ll land them their first Palme d’Or.
Zvyagintsev hasn’t directed a film since 2017’s “Loveless” — another gem in a filmography that has become one of the very best in international cinema. A two-time Oscar nominee, known for his bleak, Russia-set cinema, he won the Venice Film Festival’s top prize in 2003 for “The Return” and the Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize in 2017 for “Loveless.” His most acclaimed film remains 2014’s extraordinary “Leviathan.”
