Steppenwolf

Coming soon from Arrow Video is the brutal post-apocalyptic revenge tale from Kazahkstan, Steppenwolf. Written and directed by Adilkhan Yerzhanov, his film is relentless and nihilistic, an epic journey across a desolate landscape stained with blood.

In the film:

Tamara (Anna Starchenko), a young lady consumed by trauma, searches for her missing son, Timka, in a small town dominated by riots and violence. In a desperate attempt to get him back, she teams up with an amoral former police investigator (Berik Aitzhanov) whose methods prove to be frequently cruel and sadistic. Quietly determined, Tamara decides to complete the mission with the nihilistic detective, no matter the cost, as the pair embarks on a bloody and bullet-riddled road trip in their combined search for salvation.

Now, watch the official trailer!

Winner of the Golden Raven Grand Prix at the 2024 Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival and the Outstanding Performance Award for both Anna Starchenko and Berik Aitzhanov at the 2024 Fantasia Film Festival, Steppenwolf is the latest film from Yerzhanov (Cannes-selected The Gentle Indifference of the World and Venice-selected Goliath) and Oscar-nominated producer Alexander Rodnyansky (Leviathan).
