Placebo. Russia. 2014
Today, 30th of May 2k16, is a world premiere of Placebo's feature film.
This 70 minute cinematic creation tells us a story about Placebo's tour throughout Russia in 2014.
Basically, we get to experience this country at it's every angle as we go through the depths of Siberia by taking trans-siberian express with the band. As you may remember 2014 was the time when Crimea situation appeared and it happened so that Placebo had their tour just at it's peak.
We get to follow the band through the path that David Bowie toured lots of years ago.
We see the real country with real people. It's almost unbelievable how cool it was to watch people of this huge country finally meet their heroes and idols (aka the band). During their tour they got to meet lots of different artists who belong to Russia and are absolutely amazing and outstanding. A whole new unspoilt view on this country appears in front of our eyes as we watch the film.
You see Russia, people, their emotions, how they live, what they do and most importantly their incredible love towards Placebo. Some political issues are also touched and a parallel between political situation and ordinary life is drawn. It's such a great cultural experience and a way to get rid of stereotypes because you get to know Russia by yourself without any prejudices.
Even if you're not interested in such a country, it's just aesthetically pleasing to watch guys roam around cities and town, talk to other people, hang out and laugh together and play concerts. It feels like they are a family and you're a part of it. That homie-like feeling is so surreal, man.
Overall, definitely go if you're a fan of this band or just a fan of good movies. You will enjoy it.
I truly adored watching this film.
