Two Prosecutors

It’s 1937 and Stalinism has reached its peak. Kornyev, a young prosecutor, attempts to seek justice for a prisoner trying to expose corruption within the regime’s secret police, only to embark on a Kafka-like odyssey that increases the threat to his liberty with every step he takes. Claustrophobic and austere, with excellent performances and a restrained aesthetic, this is a devastating account of life under totalitarianism.
