Cannes Photocall Spotlight
Russian actor Aleksandr (Sasha) Kuznetsov turned heads at the Cannes Film Festival this week during the official photocall for Two Prosecutors. Snapped outside the Palais des Festivals, Kuznetsov posed alongside the film’s key creative team under the banner of @dior and @festivaldecannes. His slim-cut charcoal suit, sharp lapels and minimalist Dior accessories perfectly balanced classic tailoring with a modern edge.
The photocall comes just days before the feature’s world premiere. Directed by acclaimed Ukrainian filmmaker Sergey Loznitsa, Two Prosecutors examines the moral compromises of justice in an era of political upheaval. According to the festival programme, the screening is slotted into the Main Competition on May 14 at 22:30, positioning it among the event’s most anticipated entries.
From Photocall To Premiere
Kuznetsov has become a familiar face at Cannes. Earlier this season, he was photographed by @k_ksusha in a similarly elegant Dior ensemble on the Croisette. On the day of the film’s premiere, he credited both @dior and @morgandesteur for his look, sharing gratitude in a post that highlighted the creative partnership between cinema and high fashion.
Instagram footage from the world-premiere red carpet shows Kuznetsov greeting fellow cast members and festival jurors as cameras flashed. “Working with Sergey Loznitsa has been a true honor,” he wrote alongside one image. His caption underscored the collaborative spirit behind the scenes at Cannes, where filmmakers, designers and photographers converge to celebrate the art of storytelling.
Loznitsa’s Main Competition Entry
Two Prosecutors marks Loznitsa’s third appearance in Cannes’s Main Competition after his celebrated features My Joy (2010) and The Event (2015). Early reactions from critics praise the film’s unflinching dive into courtroom drama, noting its spare dialogue and meticulous framing. Sasha Kuznetsov’s performance as Deputy Prosecutor Stepanov has been singled out for its quiet intensity.
Screen Daily’s jury grid, reposted by @letterboxd, places Two Prosecutors near the top of the festival’s early rankings—a strong sign that the film could be in contention for the Palme d’Or. Locally, audiences have responded to Loznitsa’s blend of restraint and moral inquiry, and Kuznetsov’s role has drawn particular attention for bringing both warmth and steely resolve to the screen.
On his Instagram, Kuznetsov also shared behind-the-scenes stills from rehearsals, offering fans a glimpse at his prep work. One image shows him reading pages of the script late into the evening, another catches him exchanging notes with co-star Irina Metelieva.
Kuznetsov’s Cannes journey continues with press interviews, a gala screening at the Grand Théâtre Lumière and an upcoming Q&A. His engagement on social channels has boosted interest in Two Prosecutors among younger viewers, demonstrating the power of combining festival prestige with influencer reach.
Kuznetsov’s breakout roles in European arthouse and streaming hits have built a following that extends across Russia, Western Europe and North America. His presence at Cannes cements his reputation as a versatile actor capable of navigating both intimate dramas and large-scale productions.
In an industry where fashion and film intersect, Aleksandr Kuznetsov’s partnership with Dior has proven mutually beneficial: couture lends cinematic glamour, while cinema provides a global stage for style. At this year’s festival, the collaboration has never been more visible.
Kuznetsov closes out his Cannes schedule with the premiere screening and a Sunday brunch hosted by the festival press office. He’ll next head to Venice for a short promotional tour ahead of the film’s wider European release later this summer.
His Cannes appearance not only spotlights Two Prosecutors but underscores the evolving role of actors as cultural ambassadors—bridging cinema, fashion and social media. As the festival moves toward its final days, all eyes will be on Loznitsa’s film and the performances that bring it to life.
Sasha Kuznetsov’s Cannes chapter may be brief, but his impact is already being felt on red carpets, in reviews and across feeds around the world.
