And, though Oscar did not anoint Leviathan, the film deserves all of the accolades it has received. Directed by Andrey Zvyagintsev in an eerie style that one might call the “realism of despair," the film is both epic and deeply nuanced.
而尽管奥斯卡没有青睐《利维坦》，该片确实经得起它所受到的所有赞美。该片由安德烈·萨金塞夫（Andrey Zvyagintsev）执导，风格诡异，你也许可以称之为“绝望现实主义”。它叙事华丽并且极其细腻。片名让人想起《约伯记》和赫曼·梅尔维尔的《白鲸记》。
