This month, the Master of Suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock would have been celebrating his 115th birthday.

Charting great buzz out of Cannes, where it won the screenplay prize, Zvyaginstev's modern retelling of the Book of Job focuses on a land battle between rural Russian citizens and the authorities who have come to upend their world.While the film seems to be touted in some circles as merely a political thriller on corruption, Zvyaginstev's keen eye as a spiritual-humanist should make this an enriching experience.
