► Cannes2025 (François Chalais Prize)
.The Soviet Union in 1937: The idealistic newly-appointed local prosecutor Kornev receives a strange letter from prison, written in blood... In Loznitsa’s haunting film adaptation of Georgy Demidov’s novel, the ominously silent corridors echo with the ghosts of Gogol and Kafka.
"[T]his is not the kind of movie that hinges on abrupt reveals or gratuitous twists. Indeed, the banal predictability of Kornyev's slowly mounting humiliations and disillusionments is very much the point. The film's fascination lies in its fabric, the devastation in its detail...." (Variety)
“It is a very disturbing parable of the insidious micro-processes of tyranny.” (The Guardian)
“The claustrophobia is total – we’re theatrically trapped in cells and offices, click-clacking down corridors – but the superb Romanian cinematographer Oleg Mutu lights everything like Vermeer doing Borat.” (Daily Telegraph)
