Must-see

Absolutely amazing, vivid and emotional film with lots of beautiful music and lyrics. Dynamic and bright. Brilliantly accurate coverage of Russia, a sort of both inside and outside looks at the same things and events... Everything you see on the screen is a real life, it is not colored or tarnished, it is objective. Sometime funny, sometimes tensed, but truthful all the time. The director used only those materials that were shot while the tour and some real pictures of John Forte. It has a lot of wisdom to be read between lines. And it reveals some great musicians as well. The movie teaches and inspires. And that's what a great movie should do!
