Anecdotes
For many of the scenes involving drinking, the actors and director decided that they would drink for real, and the take that ended up being used in the movie was often the eighth or ninth take, after they had gotten really drunk and their movements and reactions were slower, which can be difficult for an actor to replicate.

Citations
Vasiliy: Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook, or tie down its tongue with a rope? Will it keep begging you for mercy? Will it speak to you with gentle words? Nothing on Earth is its equal. It is king over all that are proud.

A cinematic bath in the sea of hopelessness

"Leviathan" is a David and Goliath story set in a desolate Russian fishing-town.

We've seen it before- a man desperately tries to keep his property being taken away from rich greedy fat cats.

But this is also a strong family drama, a tale of friendship, betrayal, corruption, hope, hopelessness...

Impressive acting overall, the very slow paced narrative and almost no music besides two fitting Philip Glass pieces make this a movie to remember.

The cinematography also deserves a mention, there are countless wonderfully framed scenes.

Excellent slow burning drama.
