New US Trailer for Sergei Loznitsa's 'Two Prosecutors' Corruption Film

"They need innocent people to incriminate themselves, in order to justify their actions... They fear being unmasked." Janus Films has unveiled the official US trailer for the indie film titled Two Prosecutors, the latest work from the Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa (also director of My Joy, In the Fog, A Gentle Creature, Donbass). This premiered at last year's 2025 Cannes Film Festival and it also played at Karlovy Vary, Toronto, New York, London, and many other major fests worldwide. Set in the USSR back in 1937, a newly appointed prosecutor discovers an undestroyed letter from a prisoner that reveals corruption in the secret police, the NKVD. His search for the truth becomes dangerous. The new film from great Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa is a scalpel-precise tale of the horrors of totalitarian bureaucracy. With Aleksandr Kuznetsov, Aleksandr Filippenko, Anatoliy Beliy, Andris Keišs, Vytautas Kaniušonis, Valentin Novopolskij. The film is described in many positive reviews as "a Kafkaesque tale that is laced with bitter irony, exploring ideas of justice and legacy." This one is for die-hard cinephiles and fans of Loznitsa already. // Continue Reading ›
