'Minotaur' Review: Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Masterful Crime Thriller Is Also a Bold Indictment of Russia’s War Against Ukraine Andrey Zvyagintsev's latest film, Minotaur, has sparked a crucial conversation about the ongoing war in Ukraine and its impact on Russian society.
The crime thriller, shot outside of Russia but deeply rooted in its cultural heritage, is more than just a gripping tale of deceit and corruption – it's a scathing critique of Vladimir Putin's regime.
On the surface, Minotaur appears to be a character driven drama about Gleb Morozov, a shipping company CEO played by Dmitriy Mazurov.
