Bakenbardy (1990)
Probably the best Russian movie of the last 25 years

Please, disregard (and, if possible, humiliate) anyone who will describe this as dystopia, ironic political declaration or in whatever way they might try to pigeonhole this great picture. It is wider and deeper than any of those clichés, although certainly contains all of them. For me, it is a plain masterpiece and as such will only suffer from any attempt to describe it in few unsurprising words.
If you are not Russian I would recommend to watch it with somebody from our part of the world, otherwise it might be really difficult to comprehend.
And if you are, just stop doing whatever you are doing right now and watch it already for Christ's sake!
