About From Russia with Rock
A Finnish documentary about the feelings of a rock generation in the Soviet Union during Gorbachev's regime: the film follows underground bands' rise to publicity, the country's first "official" rock festival called the Moscow Rock Panorama-87 and the rocket-like ascent of Uralian Nautilus Pompilius into the starry sky of Soviet rock. Also appearing: "Аквариум", "Авиа", "Телевизор", "Браво", "Ва Банкъ", "Бригада С", "Новая Коллекция", "Мистер Твистер", "Круиз", "Нюанс", "Альянс", Uriah Heep.
Directed by Marjaana Mykkänen, From Russia with Rock leans on a strong ensemble — Vyacheslav Butusov, Boris Grebenshchikov, Garik Sukachyov — 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 documentary titles of 1988.
