A biographical drama based on Emmanuel Carrère’s novel about Eduard Limonov, a controversial Russian writer and political figure. The film, starring Ben Whishaw as Limonov, explores his tumultuous life, from being a poet and dissident in the Soviet Union, to a bum in New York, a literary sensation in France, and a political antihero in Russia. Premiering in Cannes, it was nominated for the Palme d’Or. This film captures the essence of Limonov’s multifaceted persona and his impact on various political and cultural landscapes. *We recommend seeing the film together with Pawel Pawlikowski’s Serbian Epics
