Film about Russian underworld opens festival in Spain · 2007-09-21 16:47
Canadian director David Cronenberg’s crime thriller “Eastern Promises,” set in London’s expatriate Russian underworld, opened the 55th annual San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain.
Cronenberg said his new movie showed audiences the “new Russia, coming with a very brutal capitalism that reminds us what capitalism really looks like before it has a sophisticated evolution.”
“It’s a story of gangsters and criminality. For them, violence is a way of life,” said Cronenberg of his first film since his 2005 Oscar-nominated “A History of Violence.”
The film, which won the people’s choice award at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month, was warmly received by critics and the audience at San Sebastian, AFP reports.
It stars US actor Viggo Mortensen, who also appeared in “A History of Violence,” as well as Australia’s Naomi Watts and France’s Vincent Cassel. Watts plays a slightly naive nurse whose efforts to track down the family of a baby she delivered gets her involved with the Russian mafia.
