THE LAST SOVIET MOVIE [Synopsis]

"My dear Aleksandrs, we filmmakers are all sitting in
the same train. Unfortunately there are very few
seats. I will leave the train, so that you can take my
place." These words by the late director Krzysztof
Kieslowski inspired the maker of "The Last Soviet
Movie": John F. Romanoff, a writer from Brooklyn,
reveals the truth about his ancestors, who were major
participants in the Russian Revolution. It is an
outrageous, witty and epic tale set in Russia,
complete with train rides on the transsibirian
railway, fights with wild beasts, encounters with
ballerinas, nudity and Leninism. It is at the same
time entertaining and challenging, continously
questioning the reality of what is happening on screen
as well as off.
