"That's just not right! They are our own…" A festival promo trailer has debuted for the Russian historical drama Dear Comrades!, which is premiering at the Venice Film Festival this week. The film is the latest from popular Russian filmmaker Andrei Konchalovsky (Uncle Vanya), telling the story of a communist woman in a small town in 1962 whose life is changed when the Soviet army attacks and kills people during an uprising and protest. Sound familiar? The movie is based on a true story that happened on June 2nd, 1962 in Novocherkassk and kept secret until the Nineties. The investigation was started in 1992. The victims were secretly buried in graves under fake names so they could never be found. Major suspects among the top Soviet officials were dead at that time. And the culprits have never been convicted. The film stars Julia Vysotskaya, Vladislav Komarov, Andrei Gusev, Yulia Burova, and Sergei Erlish. It's presented in B&W in the 4:3 Academy ratio. And it looks damn good - a powerful film about communism and corruption. ›››
