NeutralEntertainment

Alexander Rodnyansky, the Kyiv-born producer behind acclaimed films like Leviathan and Loveless, is stepping back into the director’s chair for the first time in years with a new war documentary, Notes of a True Criminal. After fleeing Moscow in 2022 for publicly opposing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Rodnyansky is reconnecting with his documentary roots while continuing to produce other projects. The piece also hints at upcoming work from his production slate, though details remain under wraps.
Editor’s Note: Rodnyansky’s return to directing isn’t just a career update—it’s a politically charged move. As a high-profile critic of the war, his work (especially a war doc) will likely amplify voices or stories sidelined by Russian propaganda. For film buffs, it’s a chance to see a seasoned producer back in the creative driver’s seat. For everyone else, it’s a reminder of how art and dissent collide in conflicts.
