The Luzhin Defence (2000) - Pt10: Is Chess Linked to Death in Media Productions?

When it comes to the featuring of chess rituals in media, it's not always about death and life. Sometimes, the themes linked with chess involve prison breaks, or stargates, like with the examples found in our series with pianos and stargates. Lord willing, I'll be presenting some examples of those at some point, but here in this 10th installment of the series, we're going to feature more chess-death-life ritual.

Back in the year 2000, a film called, The Luzhin Defence was released. It didn't receive a lot of attention or critical acclaim, but this chess movie is notable for its substantial chess-death ritual.
