Highlights
  • Jude Law uses prosthetics and treats the Putin role with nuance, aiming for an intelligent portrayal rather than sensationalism.
  • The film adapts Giuliano da Empoli's book, placing a fictional adviser amid Putin's rise and anchoring the drama in the early post-Soviet era through 2014.
  • Dano's Vadim Baranov draws on real strategist Vladislav Surkov, underscoring the film's tie to concrete political mechanics rather than myth.
