Saw a super movie yesterday – Perviye Na Lunye. It’s a brand-new Russian mockumentary of a Soviet moon landing in 1938. Mixing modern-day “interviews”, supposed archival KGB footage and real historic images, it looks just like a real documentary, except that it couldn’t possibly be true. It’s completely deadpan and totally hilarious.
I don’t know when it will make it to art-house theaters outside of Russia, but when it does, you must go.

Nice Blog, Megan, I found the link from Carwyn’s. My ambition is to get to St Petersburg, to see the Kirov Ballet at the Maryinsky theatre. Have you ever been there?

Yep, I’ve been to the Mariinsky loads of times. There’s a link to it on the sidebar, under “Things To Do In St. Petersburg”.
