Khodorkovsky
Thoroughly researched and highly entertaining, Khodorkovsky recounts the strange story of its eponymous subject, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the famous oligarch who's been languishing in a Siberian prison since 2003 on trumped up tax-evasion charges. (...) Tuschi pays due diligence to docu ethics here but injects Khodorkovsky with a welcome playfulness.
(...) Along the way, the pic not only tells Khodorkovsky's story but builds a less-than-flattering portrait of Russian society now, one populated by materialistic New Russians, drunken journalists, cynical ex-KGB men and ignorant young people who've swallowed the Kremlin Kool-Aid that preaches Khodorkovsky "stole" from the people of Russia.
