Limonov: The Ballad
Directed by Kirill Serebrennikov
Produced by Wildside, Chapter 2
A sprawling, darkly energetic biographical portrait of a contradictory radical figure whose life spans continents and ideologies, blending violence, ambition, and literary self-mythologizing.
A revolutionary militant, a thug, an underground writer, a butler to a millionaire in Manhattan. But also a switchblade-waving poet, a lover of beautiful women, a warmonger, a political agitator, and a novelist who wrote of his greatness. Eduard Limonov’s life story is a journey through Russia, America, and Europe during the second half of the 20th century.
