Taxi Blues is a sexy, subversive up-tp-date peek at a face of Russia never before seen in movies. The story centers on a hard-working, patriotic taxi drive who starts to go over the edge when he meets up with a flaky, westernized, Jeqish jazz musician who represents everything the taxi driver despises... and secretly desires. Filled with offbeat humor and irony, TAXI BLUES captures a Russia populated with boozers, punks, hustlers, and black marketeers- an unforgettable, exhilarating vision of a society at war with itself and coming apart at the seams. Director: Pavel Lounguine. Color. Country: Soviet Union. Subtitled. (I.A.S. now located in Old McMillan 254.)
