The Wizard of the Kremlin

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present “The Wizard of the Kremlin” showing June 5-10 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

“The Wizard of the Kremlin” features an award-winning ensemble cast, including Paul Dano, Jude Law and Alicia Vikander.

In the chaos of post-Soviet Russia, a brilliant young outsider, Vadim Baranov (Dano), rises from artist to master political strategist, becoming the spin doctor to a rising KGB officer: Vladimir Putin (Law).

As Baranov helps shape a new Russia blurring the boundaries between truth and lies, belief and manipulation, only the magnetic Ksenia (Vikander) is beyond his control, tempting him away from this dangerous game.

Years later, after retreating into silence and shrouded in mystery, Baranov finally opens up, revealing the dark secrets of the regime he helped build.
