Let’s watch Cannes Fest Winner “TWO PROSECUTORS” @ Siskel + dinner
Details
Two Prosecutors, the latest film from the great Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa (MY JOY) is a scalpel-precise tale of the horrors of totalitarian bureaucracy. Adapting a novel by Soviet writer and political prisoner Georgy Demidov, set in the Soviet Union in 1937, Loznitsa follows the attempts of an idealistic government-appointed prosecutor (Alexander Kuznetsov) to expose the mistreatment of a dissident Bolshevik writer who has been jailed and tortured without evidence of wrongdoing.
Winner - François Chalais Prize, 2025 Cannes Film Festival
