Director Michael Apted's film is a vivid and revealing portrait of the musician who became the first Soviet rock artist to record an album in the West during the years of Perestroika and glasnost. The film captures a moment of unprecedented creative freedom, when Grebenshchikov collaborated with Dave Stewart, Annie Lennox, Chrissie Hynde, Ray Cooper, and members of Crosby, Stills & Nash, while also maintaining a complex relationship with the musicians of his band, Aquarium, and Soviet audiences.

The Second Life of Film

Radio Silence — including about life in exile and the musician's position as a critic of Russia's war against Ukraine. This epilogue partially embodies Michael Apted's plan to make a sequel to the film, which he was unable to complete before his death in 2021.
