Taksi-Blyuz

Coincidence brings taxi driver Shlykov and saxophone player Lyosha together, in the process creating a complicated friendship between two very different yet lonely individuals. For both of them the reforms of the perestroika era lead to a loss of order, as foundations are shaken and philosophies of life put to the test. Before making his directorial debut TAXI BLUES director Pavel Lungin worked as a screenwriter for many years. He won over Pëtr Mamonov, the late Soviet rock star and front man of the Moscow band Zvuki Mu, for the role of the eccentric saxophonist.
