A struggling Siberian rock band leaves home in the lonely tundra to tour the United States because, as they’re told, “they’ll buy anything there.” The musicians bravely venture across the States, carrying a bandmate and some beer in a coffin, and sporting hairdos resembling unicorn horns.
Eastern European dry humor meets American idiosyncrasies in Aki Kaurismäki’s delightfully absurd classic, released the same year the Berlin Wall fell. Speeding through the Deep South, this off-beat adventure—featuring a Jim Jarmusch cameo—marks the birth of the most unforgettable cover band on film.
