Based on a Nabokov novel, The Luzhin Defence stars John Turturro as Sascha Luzhin, a mentally troubled (in the world of movie chess, they almost always are) champion who falls in love with a Russian woman (Emily Watson) and keeps trying to escape the game to be online coop games pc with her … but the game, and the politics that surround it, are too powerful to get away from. Turturro goes into full paranoid-savant mode, which is fine, but it’s Watson who’s the star here, particularly in the film’s final scenes, which tie together an otherwise disparate and disjointed story. Cliff Curtis, forever underrated, plays Genesis “Gen” Potini, a Maori man who might be the greatest chess player in New Zealand’s history but also suffers from severe bipolar disorder. Gen ends up, as we see often in chess movies, coaching youngsters to play chess to keep them out of gangs, but the twist here is that Gen is breaking down mentally while still trying to keep his team of kids together. It’s an amazing performance — Curtis gained nearly 60 pounds for the film — in what many consider one of New Zealand’s best films. (It was a massive hit there.)
