Just before winter cloaks everything in the Arctic night, a few hours of daylight linger in late autumn in the village of Sumskoy Posad, one thousand kilometres north of Saint Petersburg, in Karelia, on the shores of the White Sea. Linked to the rest of the country by a vague muddy track and a stretch of railway line, the village lives in a suspended and mysterious dimension. This is the Russia of endless forests and potato fields. A few robust and uncompromising characters work calmly there, driven by no vital needs. This is a still happy and cold Russia. close

The Rolling Stones: Live at the Max
The backstory of the film is this. Despite its popularity, the group goes bankrupt due to the frenzied taxes in Britain, his contribution to this process has made the team manager. In the future, the musicians decide to get rid of the stupid director, but this step is given to them very hard. In 1971, the band went to France, where he rented a basement in Villa Nellecott, in this very place and born the iconic collection Exile on Main St.
The Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle tour was a stunning success, the best in the history of the band, which performed 117 concerts in 60 cities on 3 continents.
The daily work of the group brought stunning success, which in the end was appreciated even by critics. In August of the 90th tour came to an end, by this time more than six million people had purchased tickets and visited concerts. After that, the organizers conceived another grandiose project – to make the film “The Rolling Stones”. What happened, and what other musicians had adventures on the way to fame – just look in this film.

A Latin palindrome is the title of Guy Debord's last film, in which he, as narrator, explains that he will make neither concessions to the tastes of his viewers nor to the dominant ideas of his day. After extensively insulting the audience that goes to the cinema to forget its heteronomous life, the film becomes autobiographical, using images from the world of spectacle: advertising brochures, clips from feature films (Les enfants du paradis), comics, aerial footage of Paris, tracking shots through Venice, photographs of friends – all commented on by Debord, with an at times melancholy undertone: "This Paris no longer exists." His assessment is that one of the great pleasures of his life has been the sensation of the passage of time, and as a witness to the disintegration of social order, he has loved his epoch. close
