Kirill Serebrennikov charts the rise to fame of Soviet rock pioneer Viktor Tsoi (Teo Yoo) in Leto, a freewheeling snapshot of youthful rebellion in the underground scene of 1980s Leningrad. Set to a soundtrack of classics from David Bowie to The Sex Pistols, and filmed in stunning black-and-white, Leto is a rock'n'roll musical like no other. With director Serebrennikov until recently detained under house arrest in Moscow, it provides a comment on Russian state censorship of the arts that could not be more timely.
“Marvellous... One of those movies that whisks us into a world that feels both familiar and fresh”
