The Trotsky

The Trotsky is the movie to watch if you feel jaded by Hollywood flicks and/or indies. It's a cute comedy – not a romcom – that takes place in Quebec.

What's most amazing about the movie is how quickly the viewer can connect to one of its plethora of its characters. They are complex and often opaque, which makes them more real than Hollywood. You never quite figure out the motives of the character, or 'figure' them out as you would characters in Hollywood. You know what they are doing and why, but you never quite figure them out. It's good, go watch.

My guilty pleasure from the movie were the Russian Revolutionary war-songs that the movie has as background scores. They're there for humor, but instead they got me up and excited.
