“This exclusive director’s cut of the two-hour feature film, created using groundbreaking technology, presents an ultra-realistic portrayal of Putin, setting a new standard in cinematic digital innovation,” reads the official synopsis of the film. “Vega’s approach offers audiences an immersive experience that blurs the line between actor and historical figure, deeply exploring the psyche and motivations of the Russian dictator.”
Along with painting a portrayal of Putin, the film also “stands as a symbolic support for the resilience of Ukrainian cinema and the determination of artists to bring vital, challenging stories to the world. Putin also serves as an artistic protest against both the Russian leader and the war in Ukraine,” according to its creators.
The director’s cut of Putin has a runtime of two hours.
