35/32
The outrageous story of Eduard Limonov, a radical Soviet poet who became a bum in New York, a sensation in France and a political antihero in Russia. In 2017, Pawel Pawlikowski adapted Emmanuel Carrère’s biographical novel Limonov (2011), based on the life of Eduard Limonov, into a screenplay. Pawlikowski had planned to direct the film adaptation, but in 2020 he revealed that he had lost interest in the character and abandoned his plans to direct. Cited in the kuji: Grigory Dobrygin: The Quiet Cinema (2021). Limonov: The Ballad of Eddie, directed by Kirill Serebrennikov, is a film about the turbulent life of Eduard Limonov, a Soviet poet turned political antihero. From the streets of New York to the salons of Paris and the turmoil of Russian politics, the film ambitiously covers Limonov’s provocative journey over several decades. However, while visually striking and anchored by strong leads, the film struggles to connect its many threads cohesively. Ben Whishaw portrays Limonov magnetically, capturing his contradictions: poet, rebel, and controversial political figure. Viktoria Miroshnichenko and Tomas Arana provide solid support, though their characters often feel secondary to Limonov’s sprawling narrative. Serebrennikov’s direction is bold, with moments of surrealism and stunning visuals that reflect Limonov’s chaotic and larger-than-life existence. Still, the pacing is uneven, with certain segments feeling overly long or disjointed. The screenplay, co-written by Emmanuel Carrère, Pawel Pawlikowski, and Ben Hopkins, is full of compelling detail but lacks a clear focus, leaving the audience to piece together Limonov’s story without a strong emotional anchor. Despite its flaws, *Limonov: The Ballad of Eddie* is a fascinating exploration of an enigmatic figure. This is not a simple biography, but a kaleidoscopic look at a man who defied easy categorization. While the film may not appeal to all viewers, it manages to capture the boldness and contradictions of its subject. 6/10 – An ambitious but uneven portrait of a controversial icon.
