Twist again in Moskau (1986)

Twist again in Moskau: Directed by Jean-Marie Poiré. With Philippe Noiret, Christian Clavier, Martin Lamotte, Bernard Blier. Igor, who manages a fancy hotel and is on the take, has to juggle several problems at once. He has a two-hour window to get his ill-got gain out of the hotel, he must misdirect and obstruct the inquiries of a Party auditor who suspects that all is not above board, and he must keep out of sight and out of trouble his interloping and troublesome young brother-in-law, who arrives unannounced with barrels of rotten herring.

“A gem for a perfect description of Brezhnevian Communism gone stale and about to take a jump in the dustbin of history.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDialogue is just great and cult quotes abound (sadly lost for those without knowledge of French). Not to mention epiphany situations, e.g. various party members comparing their various party membership cards/levels to assert their respective authority until one settles it by saying u0026quot;weu0026#39;re all party members in this room but are you KGB, comrade?u0026quot;.”
