‘Pieces of a Woman’ Director Kornél Mundruczó to Helm Epic Drama About Early Life of Joseph Stalin, With ‘Limonov,’ ‘Santosh’ Producers (EXCLUSIVE)
The acclaimed filmmaker's latest will tell the story of the dictator's rise through the eyes of his best friend, ally, devoted disciple and henchman.
Oscar-winning filmmaker Paweł Pawlikowski (“Cold War,” “Ida”) and scriptwriter Ben Hopkins (“Limonov: The Ballad of Eddie”) penned the original screenplay which was adapted by Kata Weber, a frequent Mundruczó collaborator. Spanning 30 years between 1891 and Kamo’s death in 1922, the Georgian-language “Revolution” is a portrait of the birth of the world’s most murderous dictator told through the eyes of his best friend, ally, devoted disciple and henchman. It follows the story of the two men who grew up together in the small town of Gori: Stalin, or Soso as he was then known, who was born into extreme poverty, and Kamo, who was raised in a wealthy merchant family.
