Controversial Russian film "Leviathan" has been awarded the Golden Globe for best foreign language film at a star-studded ceremony in the U.S. The Russian-made film beat off competition from Poland, Sweden, Israel and Estonia to triumph at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards, held Sunday night in Beverly Hills. Directed by Andrei Zvyagintsev, "Leviathan" tells the story of a provincial man who endeavors to keep his property safe from a corrupt mayor.
It initially struggled to get a screening permit in Russia after falling foul of a law that bans swearing in films, but was eventually given a +18 rating by the Culture Ministry, which bleeped out the expletives.
