Episode 573: Three Poplars on Plyuschikha Street (1968)

We continue our month of discussing Soviet Cinema with a look at Three Poplars on Plyuschikha Street. It’s the story of Nyura, a country woman who comes to the big city of Moscow to see her sister in law. There she meets Sasha, a taxi driver. They share stories and a song on the way to Plyuschikha Street. He offers to take her to the movies and she agrees but things go wrong.

Gianna D'Emilio and Alistair Pitts join Mike to discuss this heart-breaking film.
