Daniel Roher's documentary looks at the life of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in the aftermath of an assassination attempt on his life.
Storytellers spent decades populating Cold War dramas with cold-hearted Russian dictators and the shady spies and assassins in their employ only to have Vladimir Putin rise to power and render all those fictionalized archetypes redundant, if not obsolete., you’d think it was too on-the-nose.
As it stands, Roher’s unsettling film is at least as sad as it is pulse-pounding; 30 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union this is what democracy looks like in Russia . It’s like the entertainment industry’s love for remakes and reboots has extended to reviving schlocky conspiracy thrillers as real-life.
