Don’t miss the latest from the acclaimed director of DONBASS and STATE FUNERAL.
Now streaming exclusively on the Criterion Channel, the latest film from acclaimed director Sergei Loznitsa (Donbass, State Funeral) follows an idealistic young prosecutor in 1930s Russia as he pursues a mysterious summons to a prison for political undesirables, entering a Kafkaesque underworld beyond the reach of the law. See why critics are calling Two Prosecutors “extraordinary” (The New Yorker), “prophetic” (Deadline), and “the kind of international title that enriches American moviegoing life” (The New York Times).
Plus: Don’t miss The Trial (2018), a mesmerizing documentary that Loznitsa assembled from footage of a 1930 Stalinist show trial. |

“Loznitsa holds you rapt with brutal faces, restless camera work, meticulous filmmaking, shivers of bitter wit, and scenes of characters just talking that set your heart to racing.”
—Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
“Superb . . . What gives this drama its extraordinary tension is Loznitsa’s slow, rigorously measured observation of Kornyev’s descent into a bureaucratic and totalitarian abyss.”
—Justin Chang, The New Yorker
“Loznitsa’s haunting film unravels a terrifying parable of bureaucratic evil.”
—Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
“A darkly absurdist odyssey . . . Compelling, meticulous, mordantly relevant.” —Jessica Kiang, Variety |
