We’re excited to announce that feature film Le Mage du Kremlin has been selected for the Official Competition at the 82nd edition of the Mostra Internazionale d’Arte Cinematografica. Production designer François-Renaud Labarthe has crafted a visually layered world that heightens the film’s political tension and narrative depth. Directed by Olivier Assayas and produced by Curiosa Films, Forma Pro Films, Gaumont and Pierce Capital Entertainment, this political thriller follows the shadowy rise of Vladimir Putin through the eyes of a young Russian filmmaker who becomes his unexpected advisor. Set against the chaotic backdrop of post-Soviet Russia, the film explores power, manipulation, and the cost of loyalty. The cast includes Paul Dano, Jude Law, Alicia Vikander, Tom Sturridge, and Jeffrey Wright.
