62nd LONDON FILM FESTIVAL (10th-21st October 2018) DAY 5
Every day (from October 10th to October 21st) I will be selecting the London Film Festival choices you have a chance to get tickets for and the movies you are unlikely to see in London very soon unless you go to see them at the Festival. Here is the LFF's main website for the general information you need. Don't worry if some of the recommended films are sold out by the time you read this as there are always some tickets on offer which go on sale 30 minutes before each screening. Here is all the information you need about the best way to get tickets.
Summer also screens at ICA Cinema on October 15th. Full details here.
London Film Festival review:
Amid the hyper-controlled cultural world of pre-Perestroika
Leningrad, a rock scene is burgeoning. Their leader is the charismatic Mike
(Roma Zver), who works in a factory by day and transcribes Iggy Pop, Lou Reed
and David Bowie lyrics by night. Enter Viktor Tsoy (Teo Yoo), an aspiring
musician who quickly charms the gang – and Mike’s girlfriend Natasha (Irina
Starshenbaum). Amongst the rockers inspired by Western music playing in
Communist Party-licensed clubs and semi-sedated audiences whose applause is policed,
Tsoy’s raw talent is a breath of fresh air and hints at the possibility of –
and need for – change. Though Serebrennikov remains under house arrest on
as-yet-unfounded embezzlement charges, Summer is a timely mood piece that dares
to ask how artists can survive in a repressive regime.
