Review of Leviathan

Leviathan (2014)
9/10
Could happen anywhere
20 January 2015
If this had been a Hollywood-movie, it would have had a happy ending. It is not a Hollywood-movie, it is a Russian movie, but not an anti-Russian one.

The inspiration for this story was something that happened in the USA - this is described in the trivia section. Look up Marvin Heemeyer, Grand Lake, Colorado, USA.

It could happen anywhere, just change a few details of who/what/how/why.

Some people with greater insight than me can explain the details of the symbolics used - as I know, a Leviathan challenge is one, that no human should attempt, it requires divine skills, hence the reference to Job.

There are many subtle details in the images rolling over the screen - I wish I could understand Russian, so that nothing was lost in translation.
