Letter to Brezhnev
15
Why watch?
“Legend has it 700 people piled into Frank and Margi Clarke's mum's house after the famous Kirby premiere of the film. So why not come discover what the fuss was all about!”
Alice Parsons,
Bradford Queer Film Festival.
Two Liverpool lasses hook up with a pair of Russian sailors, only for their night of fun to turn serious when love beckons for one of the girls, and she begins to wonder if life might be better behind the Iron Curtain.
A film emboldened by the strength of its contrasts, Letter to Brezhnev combines its earthy humour with a bitter depiction of urban deprivation, illuminating the hope at the heart of a neglected city and imparting the belief that human contact can counteract the prejudices of international politics.
Showing in partnership with Bradford Queer Film Festival as part of Rage & Reinvention, a new season presented by Leeds Heritage Theatres.
This screening will begin with an extended introduction by Alice Parsons, founder of Bradford Queer Film Festival.
