"LEVIATHAN" ROLL CONTINUES
"Leviathan" trailer via YouTube
Andrey Zvyagintsev's "Leviathan" continued picking up hardware this past week as it was named winner of the Black Pearl Award at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival. That follows its win recently at the BFI London Film Fest as Best Picture. "Leviathan" was #5 on The Professionals' ratings from Telluride and is Russia's entry for Best Foreign Language Oscar consideration...and might well be the favorite.
The Hollywood Reporter has the coverage:
