Volga-Volga (2006)

Overview

A remake of the Grigoriy Aleksandrov's "Volga-Volga", a postmodernist deconstruction of the legendary Soviet movie. Vladislav Mamyshev-Monroe's head was "glued" to Lyubov Orlova's body, and now Monroe is re-acting the movie, making what was a musical about amateur artists into a tragedy – postwoman wants too much and, eventually, loses her mind. Sometime in the movie, the movie shifts to Antarctica from the Volga, where Monroe-Orlova is looking at the fascinating life of penguins.
