Highlights
  • Olivier Assayas’ chilling political thriller The Wizard of the Kremlin, starring Jude Law as Vladimir Putin and Paul Dano as the president's master propagandist, met a warm embrace at Venice, drawing a standing ovation.
  • Dano's Baranov is based on Vladislav Sourkov, the real-life fixer who helped choreograph Putin’s ascent, marking the film as a political arc rather than a simple biopic.
  • The production pairs glossy red-carpet aesthetics with political drama, signaling festival-grade ambition rather than a conventional biopic.
