Very gloomy even for Russia. I don't know how realistic it is, for most of russians it will look exotic - except of drinking and corruption.

Brilliant depiction of a battle between a typical citizen and corrupt local government bureaucrats in a small town in Russia.

Leviathan is long, slow and rather bleak. And yet, it is also rather compelling. Cracking cinematography as well.
