Nikita Mikhalkov

★★★

159

The fate of a Chechen youth on trial for murdering his adoptive father is passionately debated by 11 jurors who want to convict him and the 1 holdout among the group. Mikhalkov’s expanded and updated adaptation of Reginald Rose’s screenplay for Sidney Lumet’s 1957 classic 12 ANGRY MEN is long and talky but superbly acted. Absorbing both as drama and as a metaphor for the breakup of post-Soviet Russian society.
