An activist, revolutionary, dandy, thug, butler, and homeless man—Eduard Limonov was a fiery and belligerent poet, a political agitator, and the novelist of his own greatness. His life, like a trail of sulfur, spans the bustling streets of Moscow, the skyscrapers of New York, the alleys of Paris, and the prisons of Siberia during the second half of the 20th century.

The new film by Russian master Kirill Serebrennikov (Tchaikovsky's Wife, 2022 Haifa IFF) comes to Haifa from the Official Competition at the Cannes Festival. Serebrennikov adapts the novel by Emmanuel Carrère and centers the film around a tour de force performance by Ben Whishaw.

Filmography: The Student (2016), Betrayal (2012), Yuri’s Day (2008), Playing the Victim (2006), Bed Stories (2004).
