Description

dir: Aki Kaurismäki - 1989- 1 hr 19 min A struggling Siberian rock band leaves the lonely tundra to tour the United States because, as they’re told, “they’ll buy anything there.” Aki Kaurismäki’s winningly aloof farce follows the musicians as they bravely make their way across the New World, carrying a bandmate (and some beer) in a coffin and sporting hairdos that resemble unicorn horns. Leningrad Cowboys Go America was such a sensation that it brought the fictional band a major real-life following. Bargain Bin Film School is the only non-accredited film school in the greater Kansas City Area taught by someone who's only taken ONE film class in college. Each month BBFS looks at a heralded or overlooked classic of world cinema, but this time with less film bros ad more fun.
