🎥 Film Screening : Two Prosecutors (2025)
Synopsis :
Two Prosecutors by Sergei Loznitsa is a chilling, tightly directed drama that feels more politically urgent than ever. Set in the Soviet Union of 1937, Loznitsa crafts a cold, Kafkaesque parable about a young, idealistic state prosecutor who discovers an anonymous letter and sets out in pursuit of justice. What follows is a penetrating journey through the machinery of Stalinist terror : bureaucracy, manipulation, and the dehumanization of law. With meticulous mise-en-scène, stark imagery, and intense performances, the film builds a suffocating atmosphere where every glance carries weight. Two Prosecutors is a stark warning about the fragile boundary between loyalty and moral courage. Idealism collides head-on with a system bent on protecting itself. In the lead role, Aleksandr Kuznetsov delivers a performance both grand and restrained. With surgical precision, Loznitsa shows how ideals are punished. Every line of dialogue is charged, every movement of the machinery of power breathes foreboding.
The film, set in a justice system where legality can be distorted by political power, offers a powerful lens through which to examine Europe’s own challenges in safeguarding public resources.
