'Dear Comrades': First Trailer For Andrei Konchalovsky's Well-Received Venice Film Festival Drama - Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: Here’s the strong first trailer for Andrei Konchalovsky’s well-received Venice Film Festival drama Dear Comrades, which premiered in competition yesterday.

The film marks the latest work from Russian auteur Konchalovsky who co-wrote Andrei Rublev for Tarkovsky, worked in Hollywood on films like Runaway Train, and for the past 20 years has been making Russian arthouse fare such as The Postman’s White Nights.

Dear Comrades, shot in good-looking black and white as an ode to Soviet classics like The Cranes Are Flying, is based on the real 1962 Soviet massacre of protesting labor workers in Novocherkasskat, which was covered up for decades. The story within the story is that of a Communist Party official who begins a desperate search for her daughter caught up in the strike action, leading the official to question her previous beliefs.

Co-written by Konchalovsky and Elena Kiseleva, the film stars Julia Vysotskaya, seen in Konchalovsky’s Paradise. It is produced by Konchalovsky, Olesya Gidrat and Alisher Usmanov. Berlin-based Films Boutique reps sales.
