On Friday, February 13, at 7:50 p.m., Ajoe will screen the adaptation of Giuliano da Empoli's novel of the same name, "The Kremlin Wizard," directed by Olivier Assayas and starring Paul Dano, Jude Law, Alicia Vikander, and others.
Synopsis: Russia, in the 1990s. The USSR is collapsing. Amidst the turmoil of a country in reconstruction, a young man of formidable intelligence, Vadim Baranov, forges his own path. First an artist, then a reality TV producer, he becomes the unofficial advisor to a former KGB agent destined for absolute power, the future "Tsar" Vladimir Putin.
Immersed in the heart of the system, Baranov becomes a central cog in the new Russia, shaping discourse, images, and perceptions. But one presence escapes his control: Ksenia, a free and elusive woman, embodies a possible escape, far from the logic of influence and domination. Fifteen years later, after retiring into silence, Baranov agrees to speak. What he reveals blurs the lines between reality and fiction, conviction and strategy. The Kremlin Wizard is a dive into the mysteries of power, a story where every word hides a flaw.
