Peter Firth, Alfred Molin, Alexandra Pigg, Margi Clarke Liverpool docklands; factories, pubs, clubs, sex and dreams. A heady combination of humour, pathos and desperation. Two Liverpool lasses, Teresa (Margi Clarke) and Elaine (Alexandra Pigg) meet two Russian Sailors, Sergei (Alfred Molina) and Peter (Peter Firth), and hook up for a night of fun and frolics. Teresa is looking for sex and a smile, Elaine wants more, love, romance and the dream of life far away from the … mehrgrime of 80's Liverpool. Elaine finds the love she craves in Peter, but he has to return to Russia. No one wants their love to survive so she writes a letter to Soviet leader Brezhnev and he writes back. The chance of a lifetime or a lifetime chance in a Russian society no better than Liverpool? One of the all time great British movies, a superb script by Frank Clarke and stunning performances from all the cast make this a film to treasure. weniger
