SYNOPSISMusical comedy is hardly a genre most people would associate with modern Russian cinema. Continuing this trend and taking it in a new direction is Valeriy Todorovskiy’s new film Stilyagi (Hipsters). Featuring an all-star cast, dynamic script and slick cinematography, Stilyagi takes the viewer on an epic joy ride through 1955 Moscow, two years after Stalin’s death. At the height of the Cold War in the Soviet Union, the titular stilyagi were a bunch of Western-oriented hipsters who loved jazz, exhibited questionable morals and enjoyed dressing with style. more
