This film was proposed by our member Karin Johansson Blight, who writes: 'I am a big fan of Aki Kaurismäki and this film is just so funny!'
In the late eighties, Aki Kaurismäki, a master of the deadpan, fashioned a waggish fish-out-of-water tale about a U.S. tour by 'the worst rock-and-roll band in the world.' Leningrad Cowboys Go America’s posse of fur-coated, outrageously pompadoured hipsters struck such a chord with international audiences that the fictional band became a genuine attraction, touring the world.
Please note, the screening on Wednesday April 10 is our Free Members' Screening, and the screening on Tuesday April 16 is a general public screening.
