We’re delighted to share that the feature film Le Mage du Kremlin will have its preview screening today at 6 p.m. at the Centre Bernard Taillefer as part of Les Arcs Film Festival, running from December 13 to 20, 2025. Production designer François-Renaud Labarthe shapes an environment where every detail heightens the political tension and enriches the film’s narrative power. Directed by Olivier Assayas and produced by Curiosa Films, Forma Pro Films, Gaumont, and Pierce Capital Entertainment, the story traces the elusive ascent of Vladimir Putin through the eyes of a young Russian filmmaker drawn into his inner circle. Set against the unrest of post-Soviet Russia, the film examines the mechanics of power, the pull of manipulation, and the price of loyalty, brought to life by a cast that includes Paul Dano, Jude Law, Alicia Vikander, Tom Sturridge, and Jeffrey Wright.
