The film by Kirill Serebrennikov “(M)the student” will represent Russia at the 69th Cannes film festival. TASS said the Executive Director of the show Thierry Frémaux. The painting was included in the special program “Special look”.

According to the Director, he to the last did not believe that he will take the ribbon to Cannes. Whether he will get any prize, Serebrennikov difficult to predict. “The film already shot, it’s not theatre, where next time to play better or worse now from me nothing depends. It is important that the movie will see a lot of people,” he said.

“(M)student” — the film adaptation of the play by German playwright Marius von Mayenburg. Premiere of the original production took place four years ago in the Berlin theater “schaubühne” and in 2015 Serebrennikov staged his production at Moscow’s Gogol center.

The action moved from Germany to Russia. In the center of the story — the schoolboy Benjamin, who has decided that he knows all about what is good and what is bad. His behavior is a serious test for the others — single mothers, teachers, and classmates.

The main role in the film was played by a 21-year-old graduate of School-Studio of the Moscow art theatre Peter starlings.
