The Russian President Is Dangerous Dictator in ‘Putin’
The first international production from Polish director Besaleel, aka Patryk Vega, depicts Vladimir Putin more as a gangster boss than a world leader.

Kinostar has dropped its first trailer for Putin, the first production from Polish box office king Patryk Vega, who now goes by the name Besaleel.
Pitched as a political thriller and psychological portrait of Russian president, the film, judging by the trailer, is critical.
Besaleel, who says he conceived the project as an artistic protest against the “Russian dictator and the war in Ukraine,” shows Putin alternatively a doddering old man shivering in soiled diapers, as a gangster-style mob boss blackmailing his predecessor Boris Yeltsin and as a cold-hearted killer ordering bombings and assassinations.
The president’s personal life also comes under scrutiny, with a scene depicting Putin humiliating his ex-wife Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Ocheretnaya by flaunting his relationship with his much younger girlfriend, Alina Kabaeva.
Kinostar is handling world sales for Putin at the American Film Market. The German group will also release the film in several European territories.
