00:00Today at the Venice Film Festival we saw The Magician of the Kremlin, the new film by Olivia Sia, based on the political fantasy novel by Giuliano Don Poli.
00:09It reinterprets Vladimir Putin's rise to power by intertwining fiction and historical truth.
00:15It is particularly interesting considering the story of Vadim Barlov, played by Poldano, a young man searching for his own path in 1990s Russia who becomes Vladimir Putin's go-between.
00:25The Magician of the Kremlin is precisely this enigmatic figure who will forge the new Russia, behind the back of the former KGB agent, played by Judah.
00:42For those who know him, he is a director of intrigue and conspiracies, and here perhaps his drive for experimentation and unconventional directorial and stylistic choices is slightly lacking.
00:55The Magician of the Kremlin is a fairly straightforward political thriller that pretends, however, especially in the script and makes us understand how in these environments, words are the true instrument of power.
01:09In the midst of this almost exclusively male domination, however, there is an elusive female figure, Xenia, played by Alicia Vikander, who, in the best Asaya tradition, is precisely the incarnation of the enigma, of the possibility of escaping from the game of power games.
01:32In short, Saw's successful film is the testimony of a drama, unfortunately, still ongoing on the world stage that undoubtedly fits into the vein of these stories about our contemporary world that we are seeing during the Venice Film Festival.
