About This Movie
The Feasts of Valtasar, or The Night with Stalin, directed by Yuriy Kara, dives into a chilling historical moment through the lens of a dance troupe performing for some pretty heavy hitters of the Stalinist regime. Set in the picturesque yet eerie backdrop of Gagra in the late '80s, the film really captures the tension and absurdity of the time. The atmosphere feels thick, almost suffocating, as the troupe navigates the oppressive political climate while trying to impress the likes of Beria and Lakoba. The performances are striking, with a blend of artistry and palpable fear that paints a vivid picture of a culture caught between celebration and dread. It's the uncomfortable juxtaposition of beauty against a grim reality that makes this film stand out.
