Review of Leviathan (2014) by Jon T — 28 Dec 2017

For me a slightly better movie than The Return so this is high praise indeed. I am slightly surprised this was made as it lays bare the collusion between the state and the church. But l guess the government thinks no one much will watch this and in any case the realism of the film maker portrays the relationship sympathetically.

And the central character assumes a sort of universal, Everyman quality in his struggle as the small man up against forces he can never overcome.
