Even if you know it's the story of a legendary hockey team and not the fierce Soviet-era military machine, you will be surprised by its sociopolitical and personal content and the engaging way it tells its story.
- Kenneth Turan, The LA Times
In “Red Army,” the swirling, interlocking parabolas of Soviet hockey live again.
- Jeff Z. Klein, The New York Times
[Red Army] reveals the strengths of the Soviet athletic program and the weaknesses of our own — a star-driven, money-flaunting braggart that, er, shares the same flaws as capitalism.
- Amy Nicholson, The Village Voice
Ce film inspirant, sans complaisance, truffé de fabuleuses images d'archives, qui nous rappelle que le hockey n'est pas qu'un sport. C'est parfois un grand art.
- Marc Cassivi, La Presse
Synopsis
From Oscar® nominated and Emmy award winning filmmakers, RED ARMY is a feature documentary about the Soviet Union and the most successful dynasty in sports history: the Red Army hockey team. Told from the perspective of its captain Slava Fetisov, the story portrays his transformation from national hero to political enemy. From the USSR to Russia, the film examines how sport mirrors social and cultural movements and parallels the rise and fall of the Red Army team with the Soviet Union. RED ARMY is an inspiring story about the Cold War played out on the ice rink, and a man who stood up to a powerful system and paved the way for change for generations of Russians.Theatrical Release Date
