Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2011 Cannes Festival, Elena is a triumphant return for director Andrey Zvyagintsev (The Return, The Banishment). In Moscow, Elena and Vladimir are an older couple from different social backgrounds: he is a wealthy businessman, while she comes from a more modest, working-class background. When Vladimir suffers a heart attack, Elena enacts a daring plan to save her family's future. "Zvyagintsev spins a taut, engrossing yarn about a coveted inheritance, cruel class differences and quietly monstrous misdeeds"-Justin Chang, Variety. In Russian with English subtitles. Sponsored by the Department of Russian. (Andrey Zvyagintsev, Russia, 2011, 109 minutes)
