Red Army (2014)
Directed by Gabe
Polsky this is a documentary with contributions from many notable
Russian ice hockey stars of the 1980s. We follow the all conquering
Russian ice hockey team of the 1980s through their success and the
fall of the Soviet Union.
I know nothing about
ice hockey really but this was a fascinating documentary that shows
how sport can be more than just a game. Mixing together well the
narrative of the team and that of the nation. I loved the way the
documentary makers managed to capture the mysteries and ambiguities
of both the people and the country involved. There is some really
slick editing as well which makes this documentary really stand out.
5/5
