"East Side Story"
1997
Directed by Dana Ranga
A unique documentary
about the world of Communist musicals--a world unknown in the West. Hearty
peasants and workers sing and dance their way through fields and factories
in films which border on campiness, in this unorthodox view of socialist
propaganda. "Bright as a spangled sputnik. Don't dream of missing East
Side Story, with its beach blanket bingo, Bulgarian-style" (Janet
Maslin, New York Times). 77 minutes. |
