This film screened on Tuesday 18th  April 2017. 

Award-winning drama that draws on Biblical themes and life in contemporary Russia.
Director Zvyagintsev offers a flawed hero, Kolya, who seeks to save his home from the corrupt local mayor. Symbolic and beautiful state-of-the-nation cinema from this contemporary auteur.

Retired international editor of The Irish Times and Moscow correspondent, Seamus Martin, will consider life in Russia today.
