The wild, AI-assisted biopic Putin doesn’t want you to see

How do you get Vladimir Putin to star in his own biopic? If you’re Polish director Patryk Vega, the answer is (relatively) simple: you hire Polish actor Slawomir Sobala, ask him to spend two years studying “Putin’s body language, his gait, and his way of entering a room”, and then use artificial intelligence to superimpose Putin’s face onto Sobala’s. The result, simply called Putin.
