Die ersten Bilder machten Hoffnung.

Leto feierte seine Premiere am 9. Im Leningrad der 1980er-Jahre nehmen Bands wie „Zoopark“ und „Kino“ Einflüsse der westlichen Punk- und New Wave-Musik auf; ihre Musik wird zum Ausdrucksmedium einer nach mehr Freiheit lechzenden jugendlichen Subkultur innerhalb des Sowjetstaats.

Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov's latest, the aptly titled Politics and ideology are only peripheral concerns here, treated by the characters — who are based on real Soviet pop stars Viktor Tsoi of the band Kino and Mike Naumenko of Zoopark — as sort of a Serebrennikov, who has long pushed the boundaries of the prudish Russian state with edgy material, was arrested for what sounds like trumped-up claims of embezzling state funds intended for the Moscow theater he directs.

Kritik von Tatiana Moll zu Leto, RUS/F 2018, R: Kirill Serebrennikow. Die Japanischen-Atmosphäre kann er ziemlich gut rüberbringen. His house arrest began last summer when there were just a few more days of shooting left for the film.

In fact, European and American viewers may find the Russian's taste in Western music a little baffling in its eclecticism, especially when they seem to put The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Lou Reed and Billy Joel (!) Luckily, the production could wrap without him, and he was allowed to oversee postproduction while still incarcerated at home — although co-star Roma Zver, who is also one of the film's music producers, talks in the film's press notes about the oddness of not being able to contact Serebrennikov to get his input on the music edit.Despite these absurd challenges, the film itself doesn't feel like the work borne of hardship or strain, although, like so many Russian movies these days, it sometimes drags and drifts a bit too much, testing the shorter attention spans of Western viewers and overindulging its own whimsies.That latter point is demonstrated in the cutesy musical interludes in which the characters and extras around them break into song with cover versions of famous pop tunes, such as "Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads (or, as one guy calls them in the English subtitles, the "Heads That Talk") or an on-the-nose choice of Iggy Pop's "The Passenger," sung on a Leningrad tram.

Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Sid Vicious, Marc Bolan, Ian Curtis, Ronny Van Zant – keines dieser begnadeten Talente ist alt geworden. Mir gefiel Jared Leto, in dieser Rolle, recht gut. Ein kleines Meisterwerk des osteuropäischen Kinos, ein Manifest der absoluten Freiheit.

Mit Inspired by the early years of two Russian rock stars from the 1980s, Kirill Serebrennikov's 'Leto' ('Summer') pays tribute to the Leningrad underground scene just before the dawn of perestroika. z.
