About Dear Gorbachev
Russia, 1937. Nicolai Bukharin and his wife Anna Mikhailovna Larina are living through a tragedy in their apartment. The husband fears that he will be arrested for political reasons and asks his wife to memorize a denunciation document so that he can destroy it. The characters, who really existed, were rehabilitated in 1988 under Mikhail Gorbachev.
Directed by Carlo Lizzani, Dear Gorbachev leans on a strong ensemble — Harvey Keitel, Flaminia Lizzani, Gianluca Favilla — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1988.
