Andrey Zvyagintsev, winner of the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, gave his first big interview after receiving this award. Anton Dolin spoke with the director. The prize at Cannes was awarded to Zvyagintsev for the film “Minotaur” - this is his first film in almost 10 years. It talks about Russia during the “special military operation” era. At the ceremony in Cannes, Zvyagintsev gave a speech calling on Vladimir Putin to “end this massacre”—that is, the war with Ukraine. In an interview with Dolin, the director spoke about his film and his performance at Cannes.
