Fictionalised account of the rise and fall of Vladislav Surkov, the man responsible not just for Putin, but for the dark arts of media manipulation. Paul Dano is a bit of a void in the lead role (perhaps deliberately), but Jude Law is terrific as Putin.

Based on the book of the same title by Giuliano da Empoli , which is an excellent read
