The film ‘O Mago do Kremlin’ (The Kremlin Magician) is set to premiere on October 2 on the TVCine channels. Directed by Olivier Assayas, the film is an adaptation of the novel by Giuliano da Empoli, which won the Grand Prix du Roman de l’Académie Française.

Set in the early 1990s following the collapse of the USSR, the story follows Vadim Baranov, a brilliant individual who rises from an avant-garde artist and reality show producer to become an unofficial advisor to Vladimir Putin. As the architect of propaganda for the new Russia, Baranov shapes the nation's political discourse and perceptions. The narrative explores the blurred lines between truth and fiction within the corridors of power. The cast includes Paul Dano, Jude Law, Tom Sturridge, and Alicia Vikander.
