I heard about this
movie from a Russian friend, lucky me! I did not hear about this great movie anywhere else!! I was nearly missing this great movie.
The movie is about a group of young people known as
Stilyagi[the snobs] who admire American style[clothes,music..] and want to be stylish as Americans in USSR during 50s. They face pressure from society, even from their own families and also pressure from communist idealists and the state.
The
movie is great! I liked it very very much.The songs among all the movie are great, the actors are great, the lead actor and actress are wonderful roleplayers. The theme is nice, fun and romantic.Do not miss it.
The
movie is not totaly fictional, as I understand from this
wikipedia link,there were Stilyagi in USSR. The official site of the movie,
stilyagifilm.ru also has black and white photos of Stilyagi from the USSR days.
The pretty actress starring as
Polza is also Lilja of
Lilja4Ever. She is also filming a movie named Antalya in Kemer/Antalya accoring to
IMDB. She also took part in
The Bourne Supremacy.
Long story made short: See the movie!
