"Leviathan" is a David and Goliath story set in a desolate Russian fishing-town.
We've seen it before- a man desperately tries to keep his property being taken away from rich greedy fat cats.
But this is also a strong family drama, a tale of friendship, betrayal, corruption, hope, hopelessness...
Impressive acting overall, the very slow paced narrative and almost no music besides two fitting Philip Glass pieces make this a movie to remember.
The cinematography also deserves a mention, there are countless wonderfully framed scenes.
Excellent slow burning drama.
