Negative Positive
Title: Promises much, delivers little.
Review: We might imagine that Stalin is still alive with this unfocused poorly produced documentary. It is in Russian but that's not the worst of it. An old man apparently one of the last cronies of Stalin peppers us with stories of the old paranoid. But they could be entirely fabricated, Who'd know? He cries over his long dead master. Much is unfocused. He was a security agent for the ballet which apparently Stalin enjoyed. He is also paranoid as if Stalin could suddenly appear. Fooled you. I'm not really dead. Stalin was in fact dead for a long time just laying there in bed. Everybody was afraid he was just sleeping. You could be shot for waking him up. Or not waking him up. In the end this old gentlman (I've forgotten his name) shows footage of his music classes. Pass on this one.
