Branded

Branded (2012) — watch online on iFILM — is a Russian sci-fi thriller co-directed by Jamie Bradshaw and Alexander Dulerayn, shot entirely on location in Moscow. The cast brings together Ed Stoppard, Leelee Sobieski, Max von Sydow, Jeffrey Tambor, and Ingeborga Dapkunaite.

Near-future Russia. Marketing strategist Misha starts seeing what's really behind the corporate logos — literal creatures feeding off consumer desire, invisible to everyone else. The film pitches between political satire about the ad industry and full-tilt urban fantasy, with Moscow providing a backdrop that most Western dystopias would never think to use. Uneven, strange, and unlike anything in its genre. Von Sydow lends it some gravity. Stream Branded (2012) online on iFILM.
