    It's nice and special. Rock movies are always a bit angry and love themed, because the protagonist is in Cold War Russia but loves Western music and therefore involves politics. Music knows no borders, but politics is...

    It's more like the director's reminiscence and yearning for the uninhibited 70s and 80s. In the era of rock and roll, mixed with the ideological requirements of socialism, a group of daring and rebellious young Russians formed their own rock band, swaying and indulging in the limited space given by the system. From garage rock to glam rock, they kept up with the times. The retro feel of black and white images and several beautiful Russian rock songs are completely...

    Those MV clips that suddenly appeared were without exception rejected by "It's a pity that this didn't happen", but they were still indelible in the audience's mind for a long time. This kind of temperament is quite close to the theme of the film: on the basis of the radical and rebellious rock music of the 1980s, such a conservative and confines of the love between men and women has actually been completed. What did this movie, or rather the so-called rock band spirit behind the movie, mean in...

    Recognizing again that I am not a fan, but only interested in expression itself. Seeing such a free and carefree expression makes me happy, just like a physiological reaction. It just so happens that freedom is also the theme of the film. The moment of the thawing of the Soviet Union, the rise of rock music, the youthful body and hormones, blowing in the action shots and music videos, but also in a kind of invisible control and shyness. Any shortcomings are also willing to forgive...

    The comic + MV style is exquisite and clever, and the biographical story is also cut just right. (I hate that stinky, long-winded biopic that has to cover every aspect of my life.) The homage to the various album covers in the middle makes me laugh. MIKE is a great man, want to cry for him, music and love save human beings from jealousy and selfishness. After watching it, I really don't want to go out of the theater, and I don't want to go back to the real world....

    No matter how bad Russia is, you can't look down on others. Culture is powerful! A very special biopic about music, the songs and mv in it are...

    I love such "meaningless" and purposeless movies, and I yearn for such a free state of life! In Leningrad in midsummer, this group of young people regarded as "abnormal" formed a sharp contrast with the conservative 1980s. The black and white images did not magnify the depression of the environment at all, but completely released their enthusiasm. Music, friendship, and love are the keynotes of the story. Gathering, dancing, and drinking are everything in life. They can scream and know how to...

    Kirill should enjoy such a carefree and free writing of sound and video. I'm curious, how many people are attracted by the European and American rock in the movie rather than the Soviet...

    Capture the blur that floats by the sea through an enchanting campfire. Through the long and narrow streets, I want to keep the temperature of love and parting. Climbing on the top of the tram and jumping into the big screen, behind the sunglasses, there is an unfathomable affection and a frosty coldness. After the crowd dispersed, how should we freeze the pictures that were exciting but never existed. How should we cherish the memory of that summer that was full of oppression but bloomed...

    It's true that the narrative in the latter paragraph has collapsed and the pattern has become smaller, but it's not worth falling in love with each...

    Inexpensive MV performances disrupt the rhythm of the narrative

    Beauty is beautiful. At best, it's just a super-long version of the MV. Even more ironically, this music biopic describing the godfather of rock in the former Soviet Union did not contain much Soviet underground rock music that impressed me. Instead, it was filled with rock works that were popular...

    When the kids sing your song in the hallway, that's your voice

    After swiping twice in a row, I determined that this "Midsummer" is one of the best films of this year. The biographical film about Viktor Tsoi, the godfather of Russian rock, seems to be similar to the Chinese rock scene in the early 1980s. I love the title. That stretch of the beach, a utopia of...
