A filmmaker from England is hired to direct an epic production in the Caucasus region of Europe.
Matthew Macfadyen and Noah Taylor fail to flesh out this underdeveloped satire.
It’s knowingly played and engagingly eccentric, but lacks edge.
Matthew Macfayden is a convincingly conceited director on the rocks who is seduced by a dictator’s offer of another shot at success.
Engaging but rather underwhelming.
