Hipsters is the first Russian musical in 50 years. . . . Moscow 1955. Stalin has been dead two years, but not even Khrushchev’s thaw can prevent Komsomol shock troops from hounding hipsters, fans of American jazz, culture and fashion. Buying their bright, colorful clothes on the black market, they must try to stay one step ahead of the drab, scissors-wielding government enforcers who look to tone them down and keep them in line. Winner of the “Nika” for Best Picture, Hipsters is a refreshingly inventive, jazz-centric take on the movie musical. (2012; 125 min) Co-feature: My Perestroika (free screening)
