Just minute 17:20 Putin recognize his frustration and intentions. After that there is an interview of Oliver Stone that seems to be sleepy and far away from the answers of Viktor Mevdevchuck, Putin's personal friend as Vlad is the godfather of his daughter. Not much more to add. The only good thing of the film s a good way to understand the conspiranoic nightmare Putin is living and his lack of humanity or democratic values. Apart from that the dramatic music is all time on and the cinematography is very poor (starting from the "poetic" naked female of the beginning of the film). It is sad to see Oliver Stone as a puppet of Mr. Putin strategy of building the business case of the invasion.

Apart for being a sub product in terms of cinematography (music use, intro of naked woman pretentiously poetic...), the film is just a sad certification of a guy that is used by Putin as a puppet to spread and give more credibility to the Putin vision/story of an area that currently is suffering his anger. Conspiranoic arguments, lack of consistency in flow arguments, hiden information... Sad to see a respectable guy that has been turn into a puppet. Mr. Stone receives the questions (the film is directed by a close Kremlin director) and just execute. In its continuation Mr Stone recognize that he did not know anything about Ukraine until he met Vladimir Putin. Enough said.

Quote of the film: Forget the story, the style is all. Well, not for more than 15 minutes film. Forget about this one and just pick another Bertolucci's film less empty than this one.
