“Two Prosecutors” is a 2025 historical drama film written and directed by Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa, based on the novella of the same name by Georgy Demidov. Starring Aleksandr Kuznetsov and Aleksandr Filippenko, the film follows a young Soviet prosecutor seeking justice for a political prisoner during Joseph Stalin’s ongoing Great Purge. The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 78th Cannes Film Festival, where it received positive reviews and won the festival’s François Chalais Prize. Sergei was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in theaters on March 20th from Janus Films. Thank you, and enjoy!
