DESCRIPTION:May 15 - Jul 1\, 2026\nDo you want to see Mother Russia? Not th
 e export version—bears\, nesting dolls\, the Bolshoi—but the Russia of
  Rilke\, Cap d’Antibes\, and truffle risotto. The country where the only
  thing that matters is how close you are to the czar\, and everything else
 —people\, laws\, even money—is simply an instrument for getting closer
 . In other words\, do you want to see the Russia that existed for people l
 ike me—those who worked under Vladislav Surkov\, the inspiration behind 
 the protagonist in Olivier Assayas’s The Wizard of the Kremlin? The film
 \, based on the novel by Giuliano da Empoli\, tells the story of Vadim Bar
 anov (Paul Dano)\, a soft-spoken intellectual with dreams of directing the
 ater who instead becomes a spin doctor for an ambitious former K.G.B. offi
 cer named Vladimir Putin (Jude Law). Baranov is modeled primarily on Surko
 v\, the all-powerful deputy chief of Kremlin staff\, but the character als
 o stands in for the hundreds of TV producers\, spin doctors\, and politici
 ans who worked for him. Almost everything in The Wizard of the Kremlin has
  been re-created with remarkable precision\, as if Assayas hasn’t made a
  theatrical film but a documentary—one that could never have been shot.
