Assa (1987)
Perfect Perestroika movie - love triangle, gangsters and TSOI
18 February 2023
Slow burn but worth the payoff. Simultaneously a gangster movie, love triangle relationship based drama, action thiller and arthouse project, the drama and intensity of the second half of the film combined with the fittingly moody and iconic soundtrack by Aquarium make this not only a thoroughly enjoyable action film, but also a masterpiece of cinematography and art. Perfectly finished with a cameo by rock legend Viktor Tsoi, the only complaint I have of this film is that I wish Tsoi had had a larger role.
Wonderful film, and a perfect depiction of the gritty, yet idealistic and romantic reality of life during Perestroika for the youth.
