The Wizard of the Kremlin

In the tumultuous landscape of post-Soviet Russia, a young artist named Vadim Baranov (Paul Dano) emerges as an improbable confidant to Vladimir Putin (Jude Law) during his rise to power. As Putin assumes the presidency in 2000, Vadim, with his sharp intellect and calm demeanor, becomes a key propagandist and advisor, intricately woven into the inner workings of the Kremlin. Amidst a nation grappling with transition, Vadim navigates the murky waters of power dynamics, corruption, and manipulation that define the highest levels of Russian governance, offering a rare glimpse into the mechanisms of authority and influence.
