Audience Reviews for Letter to Brezhnev

Aug 09, 2009

This was such a late eighties movie with the srikes and Britain in economic decline that it spoke to almost everyone who watched it. At the time the Soviet Union was still this terrifying entity just waiting to wipe us all off the face of the earth...This comes through a little in the film and it is really enjoyable.
