Pssst! Wanna see a movie that'll leave you feeling totally depressed and pessimistic about human nature? That's "Leviathan", a Russian-language arthouse movie showing at an arthouse movie theatre near you. You have to see the movie to work out the "Leviathan" reference.

My partner hated it. We saw it with another couple and the guy (the other couple) slept all the way through it. His wife forgot to turn off her mobile phone and it rang loudly - and kept ringing despite her frantic efforts to turn it off in the dark. She thought she did but the bloody thing rang again! It was a small audience and nobody said anything which probably was a commentary on the movie in itself. I found it depressing and bleak - and strangely compelling. It certainly didn't gild the lily, the message about human powerlessness in Putin's Russia was as pessimistic as the bleakness of the landscape. It's set in the district of Murmansk which is above the Arctic Circle. No trees, just tundra and weathered and shabby-looking timber houses. No wonder they drown themselves in vodka.
