The RusClub #23 takes place on Tuesday 29 August 2017 at 19:30 and the movie that will be shown is: Dead Man’s Letters (1987 – 88min)
Directed by Konstantin Lopushansky
Starring Rolan Bykov, Vatslav Dvorzhetsky

“Dead Man’s Letters is a science fiction parable set in a post-apocalyptic world. Boris Strugatsky contributed to the script, and themes of despair, uncertainty and disappointment in scientific progress (which led to nuclear war) are prevalent throughout the movie. While healthy people are admitted into underground bunkers, the remaining population struggles to survive in basements. Deeply troubled by humanity’s demise, the film’s protagonist sustains himself by writing imaginary letters to his son, even though the boy won’t ever receive them.

The film’s release in 1986 coincided with the Chernobyl disaster, making its imagery all the more shocking.”
