CGiii Comment
The homophobia, racism and anti-semitism emanating from Eastern Europe should be a major concern for the United Nations...yet, this redundant institution consistently turns a blind eye.
Luna Park certainly addresses these issues - unfortunately, not very well.
The acting is horrific as is the subject matter.
The direction is horrific as is the subject matter.
The script is horrific as is the subject matter.

The(ir) Blurb...
Andrei is the head of a gang of antisemitic skinheads clinging to the old communist ideals in post-Communist Moscow. When he learns that his long lost father actually is a Jewish bohemian living in Moscow, rather than an Afghanistan war hero, he traces him down in order to kill him. But the intriguing father and his "reactionary" lifstyle soon fascinates Andrei which leads to a clash with his gang.
