About Shantytown Blues
At the end of the 70s, a boy Mishka, abandoned by his mother and stepfather, lives in a provincial Soviet town. Curious, bold and angry. With his bluntness and fearless naivete, he conquers the local gangster John, and with the help of his patron begins to act in local taverns, finally leaving a dysfunctional family.
Directed by Svetlana Stasenko, Shantytown Blues leans on a strong ensemble — Anatoliy Gushchin, Gennadiy Nazarov, Andrey Egorov — 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 action titles of 2004.
