Minotaur Review – Andrei Zvyagintsev's Scorching Noir Intrigue Amid Ukraine War Andrei Zvyagintsev's latest offering at Cannes, Minotaur, is a searing indictment of modern Russia's moral decay, particularly in the context of its ongoing war with Ukraine.
On the surface, it appears to be a tale of infidelity and vengeful murder, but scratch beneath the veneer, and you'll find a probing examination of the toxic underbelly of Russian society.
Set in provincial Russia, Minotaur is a grim portrait of a nation paralyzed by disillusionment and fear.
