Hipsters

Hipsters

Film review by: Witney Seibold

 

          There’s something hugely sexy about Valery Todorovsky’s energetic Cold War musical “Hipsters.” It is, after all, about well-dressed, well-coiffed, jazz-loving, cigarette-smoking, sexually promiscuous twentysomethings, using their love of music and dance to crack through the stuffy façade of Moscow’s repressive Communist regime. These kids are rebels in a very true sense, and I liked the occasional bouts of genuine punk rock rebellion that the film tried to achieve.

          You would think a story about baseball theory – and not the actual sport of baseball, mind you – would be a dead bore. Thanks to the rapid-fire dialogue and arch, shop-talk-heavy screenplay by Aaron Sorkin (who wrote last year’s excellent “The Social Network”), the concepts of buying and selling baseball players seems like a complex and dynamic practice.

          Lucky McKee’s “The Woman” is easily one of the best films of the year.
