Synopsis
"Pelevin" (2022) is a Russian documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Director Rodion Chepel took on a project with an obvious problem: how do you make a film about a writer who hasn't been seen in public for close to twenty years?
Viktor Pelevin puts out a novel annually — each printing around a hundred thousand copies — yet has given no interviews since the early 2000s, skips all public events, and is widely rumored to no longer live in Russia. Chepel went through archives, early manuscripts and interviews with people who knew Pelevin personally. The result is less a biography and more a careful sorting of fact from accumulated legend. Stream "Pelevin" online on iFILM.
