“LETO” REVIEW

by Anatoly IVANOV

CINEMA / REVIEWS

Saw the premiere in Cannes… A rather weird alternative rendition of an (imagined?) fleeting romance of legendary Russian pop-rock singer Viktor Tsoi in the 1980s Saint Petersburg.

Hipsterish B&W, “It Never Happened” announcements, 4th wall pokes, awkward handwriting notes on the screen… I much prefer the 1988 “The Needle” by Rachid Nougmanov about the same singer (one of my most favorite films ever).
