Synopsis

The Story of a Boy-Band Made in Russia. First feature documentary on Russian underground superstars. Packed with rollicking live footage The Man who sings is a feature film documentary on Russian Polkapunkband Leningrad. Playing a weird mix of Polka, Ska, Tango, Punk and traditional popular music these 15 conservatory educated Punks obtained cult status at the end of the nineties in Russia.But the film is more than just the bands onstage magic. It gives you an insight into how people perceived the massive changes in Russia over the past years, the dynamics of a fast, colourful and difficult decade. You'll meet many people, in many different roles: Mastermind Shnurov as a rock star and a diligent worker, Leningrad fans and opponents, music business representatives, artists' with all but unanimous opinions on music, friendship, money, politics, language, and business.Russian with English or German subtitles available.
