Excellently brooding and moody piece of work on Russia during the latter stages of Perestroika.

An engaging drama set in one of the most periods of Russian history

And now over to Rasto the Slovakian Savage...

Pavel Lungin

A comedic love/hate relationship develops between a dour taxi driver and a hapless aspiring musician after the latter stiffs his cab fare.

Taksi-blyuz

A great film directed by Pavel Lungin after the fall of Soviet Union

A post Perestroika film like &quot;Taksi-Blyuz&quot; must be viewed in the context of Russia after 1990s.It is a landmark film in the history of Russian cinema.It speaks about an independent Russian state which might be a little difficult for some non Russian people to understand.It must be mentioned that it is not all an American Taxi Driver.The core issues of this film are masculinity,music and patriotism but still our hero grapples with numerous emotional conflicts.In today&apos;s modern day Russia,I am sure that so much has changed ever since it was created in 1990.The taxi is old in this film and decline of Russia is becoming a sore sight for natives as well as foreigners.There are many black markets where everything can be purchased.One such street vendor sells old stuff such as a saxophone,some old clothes. This is a short story of oppressed and oppressor.This film is not for you if you are expecting to watch a modern day Russia.&quot;Taksi-Blyuz&quot; is not a film about poverty but about all factors known for making people come to terms with poverty.Pavel Lungin has made his film with a tinge of sadness.It is a nice thing that women have a minor presence as most of them lack strong will power.&quot;Taksi-Blyuz&quot; is a true perestroika film to be admired for its inherent Russianness.
