A road movie with a difference:
follow a struggling Siberian band portrayed by the real-life Leningrad Cowboys
from Finland, as they go from their village to find fame and fortune in
America with an accompanying opportunist manager and the village idiot.
Deadpan comedy ensues as they travel through the American landscape, embracing
their love for rock n roll in the quirkiest manner possible.
Here, director Aki Kaurismaki successfully blends political satire with
poignant humour. Also look out for a cameo by acclaimed filmmaker Jim Jarmusch. |
