This is the most literal interpretation of documentary I’ve ever watched. It’s roughly grouped together by themes, but there’s no story. It’s mostly an excuse for wandering around Russia and finding cool things to film in innovative ways.
There are many versions of this movie floating around. Fandango has a particularly janky print. Look for the restored version (I watched it on Kanopy).
My first thoughts for the parody poster were a couple of Bond movies, The Man With the Golden Gun and From Russia With Love, but I didn’t want to jump back into Bond after the Goldfinger/The Italian Job mashup, so I went another way. It came out better than I expected.
