Description

Taurus is a biographical drama film directed by Alexander Sokurov, portraying Vladimir Lenin. It is the second film in a trilogy by director Aleksandr Sokurov that began with Moloch about Nazi Germany's Adolf Hitler and continued with The Sun about Japanese emperor Hirohito. It was entered into the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. In the face of illness, the historical personality turns out to be simply a man powerless to change anything in the fate of a country that is not yet under his control, the fate of his doomed awkward family, or the fate of his decaying personality.
