A relic of Soviet days, when the proletariat would be sent for summer holidays on the shores of the Black Sea, the resort of Broadway still teems with life for a few sizzling weeks each year.
Vitalij Manskij’s stunning film is the story of one of those summers. We follow a photographer and his monkey, see teenage boys and girls flirting in the sunshine, hear some excruciating yet hilarious karaoke and witness the birth of a child. Grotesque, beautiful and disturbing, this exhilarating film has the best opening shot you’ll see this year.
