An excellent chance to learn more about one of rock and roll's most significant bands and the struggle for freedom in the communist world.

The music in the film ... is secondary and insufficient, though I was moved by how much it meant in a nation's struggle for freedom.

Top CriticEnough of the essence of the tale comes across to make for reasonably compelling viewing.

Top CriticThe band's courage in the face of official repression is inspiring, especially for aging hippies (this one included).
01/18/02
Top CriticFor all the lip service paid to rock-and-roll revolutionaries, few groups can match the sheer courage of The Plastic People of the Universe.

Top CriticTwists are so bizarre, and the story so worth documenting, that it's easy to forget this film's shortcomings.
