A breathtaking, Felliniesque rollercoaster ride through post-Communist Russia, LUNA PARK takes us into the heart of an encroaching darkness. Andrei is the leader of a gang of right-wing, body-building skinheads who are determined to "clean up" Russia--by beating up Jews, foreigners, and anyone else they disapprove of. When, to his shock, the anti-Semitic Andrei learns that his father is actually a celebrated Jewish composer, he sets off on a frantic search through Moscow to find him. From the award-winning director of TAXI BLUES comes an intense, moving tale of a young man coming to terms with his past, in a country spinning dangerously out of control. Director: Pavel Loungine. Actors: Oleg Borisov, Andrei Goutine, Natalie Egorova . Color. Country: Russia. Subtitled. (I.A.S. now located in Old McMillan 254.)
