Dovlatov
Drama
Dovlatov charts six days in the life of a brilliant, ironic writer who saw far beyond the rigid limits of 70s Soviet Russia. Sergei Dovlatov fought to preserve his own talent and decency with poet and writer Joseph Brodsky, while watching his artist friends got crushed by the iron-willed state machinery.
VIBE
A somber yet darkly humorous look at the struggles of an artist under a repressive regime. It feels like a quiet act of defiance, a thoughtful reflection on creativity and survival amidst suffocating bureaucracy.
