‘Pieces Of A Woman’ Filmmaker Kornel Mundruczo To Direct Joseph Stalin Biopic ‘The Revolution According To Kamo’


‘The Revolution According To Kamo’ will tell the story of Stalin's early life and childhood friendship with Simon Arshaki Ter-Petrosyan.

Spanning 30 years between 1891 and Kamo’s death in 1922, the Georgian-language film is described as “a portrait of the birth of the world’s most murderous dictator through the eyes of his best friend, ally, devoted disciple, and henchman.” The two grew up together in the small town of Gori close to Tbilisi. The synopsis reads: As the red political agitators become increasingly powerful in Georgia, Kamo is dragged alongside Soso into a world of gangland violence, murder, and social upheaval. Stewart and Goodridge added: “Kornel Mundruczo is one of the world’s finest directors and we couldn’t be happier to be working with him and Kata on this ambitious and chilling story.
