ИГЛА (DIE NADEL)

1989, USSR

Rašid Nugmanov

Moro returns from Moscow to Alma-Ata to collect money from the petty criminal Spartak. Moro seeks out his ex-girlfriend Dina in Alma-Ata who is a drug addict and has become involved in the drug ring run by her employer. When Moro travels with Dina to the Aral Sea to withdraw, he becomes a target for the drug mafia. Fragments of post-modern genres with kung fu film elements, the unwavering coolness of the actor playing Moro, the legendary rock star Viktor Coj, and, last but not least, the great soundtrack by his band KINO make this work THE signature film of the Perestroika and the Kazakh New Wave.
