To Do: Shostakovich Documentary

Now playing at the Two Boots Pioneer Theater, 155 East Third Street, at Avenue A, East Village: 

Structured around a 1973 Soviet propaganda cruise to the United States that Shostakovich participated in two years before his death, this movie parallels the ocean voyage with his personal journey from child prodigy to bitter tool of the Politburo. Mixing Soviet propaganda films with snippets of symphonies and rare film of this composer at work, the directors, Oksana Dvornichenko and Helga Landauer, struggle to portray a man compromising his art to save his life.
