Dear Comrades!

When the communist government raises food prices in 1962, the rebellious workers from the smallindustrial town of Novocherkassk go on strike. The massacre which then ensues is seen through the eyesof a devout party activist. Dear Comrades received critical praise out of the Venice Film Festival, withVariety calling it “scintillating” and “meticulous and majestic, epic in scope and tattoo-needle intimate ineffect,” and The Playlist describing it as “a fascinating blend of dark satire and bleak archaeology.”
