Beautiful Gay romance - Firebird review by JR
A lovely film centred on a forbidden gay romance set against the background of the Soviet Air Force during the Cold War of the 1970s and 80s.
The two leads are dashingly beautiful and the film is tender, poignant and memorable. If you're gay and a romantic this is definitely for you!
