Limonov: The Ballad

Directed by Kirill Serebrennikov

Written by Emmanuel Carrère, Kirill Serebrennikov, Ben Hopkins, Paweł Pawlikowski, Thomas Bernardi

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.
