The Leningrad cowboys don't produce music in Leningrad at the beginning of
the film, but on the far and wide Siberian plains. Despite the masterfully
crafted compositions and grandiose instrumentation, no one cares about their
music, and no one pays for it in the first place. Which burdens the
band's manager Vladimir the most. With just a slight suggestion, the whole
circus called the Leningrad Cowboys moves to the United States. And with an
unusual cargo, which is a frozen bass player Silu Seppälä, stored in what
looks like a wooden toilet.
Aki Kaurismäki's comedy road-movie, starring his favourite Matti Pellonpää
as the manager, screened at both the Toronto and Berlin festivals. The car
salesman in the film was played by Jim Jarmusch.
