The Wizard of the Kremlin is a darkly satirical political drama by Olivier Assayas. Paul Dano plays Vadim Baranov, an artist turned spin doctor navigating post-Soviet power, as a young Vladimir Putin, portrayed by Jude Law, rises. It explores propaganda, influence, and the manipulation of truth.
“[This is] essential viewing for understanding the highly sophisticated workings of a totalitarian propaganda state.” - British Film Institute
