LEVIATHAN (2014) DIRECTOR: Andrey Zvyagintsev
Zvyagintsev diagnoses the situation of the Russian society today by creating the movie characters that express the behavior that people are showing today.

Instead, the impact is felt by the innocent people who try to condemn the acts of the corrupt individuals. As well, Zvyagintsev shows the greed that is evident in today's society.
