The Wizard Of The Kremlin New Official Movie Trailer - The Wizard of the Kremlin is exclusively in cinemas from April 17.

Russia, early 1990s. Amid post-Soviet chaos, a brilliant young man, Vadim Baranov, charts his path. First an artist, then a reality TV producer, he becomes the spin doctor to a rising KGB agent: Vladimir Putin. At the heart of power, Baranov shapes the new Russia, blurring the boundaries between truth and lies, belief and manipulation. Only the magnetic Ksenia is beyond his control, tempting him away from this dangerous game. Years later, after retreating into silence and shrouded in mystery, Baranov finally opens up, revealing the dark secrets of the regime he helped build.

Based on the bestselling novel of the same name, the film is directed by Olivier Assayas (Personal Shopper, Clouds of Sils Maria), and written by Assayas, Emmanuel Carrère (Between Two Worlds) and Giuliano Da Empoli.

Starring two-time Oscar-nominated Jude Law (The Talented Mr Ripley), Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine), Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl), Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction) and Tom Sturridge (The Sandman). Produced by Olivier Delbosc (The Fence, The Quiet Son) and Sidonie Dumas (Only God Forgives, Les Orphelins).
