    TWO PROSECUTORS (Sergei Loznitsa). State tyranny has been a recurring theme in my #LFF and this might be the most chilling of all. Filmed in a bleak style that reflects the grim reality of the system, this excellent film exposes the pervasive bureaucracy & oppression at the heart of Stalin’s Russia.

    Got back from seeing “Two Prosecutors” A film that ramps up the tension with its incredibly slow build. Set in Russia in 1937 - Stalin’s Soviet Union - so you can already set the scene for the paranoia, anxiety and terror existing in society. Unsettling in it’s study of oppression

    Our #Criterion Channel movie last night was "Two Prosecutors" (d. Sergei Loznitsa 2025) which is set during Stalin's Great Purges of 1936-1938. A naive young prosecutor fresh out of law school tries to put an end to the NKVD arresting and torturing innocent and Soviet citizens. Highly recommended.

    It's only May, but I think I've seen a film of the year contender - The Two Prosecutors by Ukranian director Sergei Loznitsa - set during Stalin's purges. Shivers while you're watching + a proper haunting after. The violence, claustrophobia & absurdity are all in the film's atmosphere. cont'd

    I'm watching Two Prosecutors and I have a question: is/was it customary to sit facing sideways in front of a desk in someone's office in the USSR? The film even made a point of the one prosecutor turning his chair 90° before sitting down. I am not familiar with this practice.

    TWO PROSECUTORS (Loznitsa, France/Russia, 2025, 9) The only negative thing I’ve read about this movie that I find remotely convincing is that the end is predictable / foreordained.
