El hombre de Kiev
Art Direction
Adaptación de "The Fixer" (en español "El hombre de Kiev"), una novela del escritor estadounidense de origen judío Bernard Malamud, que ganó el premio Pulitzer en 1967. En la Rusia zarista, entre finales del XIX y principios del siglo XX, los judíos, acusados de terribles y sangrientos crimenes, fueron cruelmente perseguidos. Se trataba de una cortina de humo para desviar la atención del pueblo ruso de problemas más acuciantes, como el hambre y la miseria. En este contexto, un campesino judío trata de ocultar su origen para evitar la represión. Pese a todo, es acusado de crímenes que no ha cometido y, sin juicio previo, sufrirá todo clase de torturas físicas y psíquicas. (FILMAFFINITY)
