Is It Easy to Be Young? Movie Review 1987

Soviet documentary which provided the first look for western viewers into the punk rock subculture of Russia. Americans will see many parallels with their own not so distant past, when these hospital workers, drug addicts, morticians and Afghanistan war veterans reveal their hopes, fears and disillusionments. Disturbing and powerful filmmaking. In Russian with English subtitles.
