Synopsis:
This hilarious road movie follows the misadventures of the wort rock and roll band in the world, the Leningrad Cowboys. When a promoter in their native Siberia, stunned by the band's lack of talent, advises them to try their luck in America they head for New York. Having learned en-route on the plane and sporting shades, outside quiffs and outrageously long winkle-pickers, they are passed off as Americans. Jim Jarmusch, in a cameo role as a shifty car salesman, sells them an old Cadillac in which they head south with their frozen bass player and a coffin full of beer.

Absurdist wonder - Leningrad Cowboys Go America review by AER

Spoiler Alert
13/07/2023

This Finnish musical is a hilarious, dead pan curio about a Russian Oompa band that go to America to find fame and fortune. Full of sightgags and droll humour, LCGA is an absurdist hit. It's probably Aki Kaurismaki's most famous film even though it was made back in 1990. Still as funny today as it was back then. Who influenced who? Jim Jarmusch's early films are definitely similar - he even has a cameo in this. Once seen never forgotten.
