...nominally about ice hockey, but culture and politics provide the driving force as the Russians go head to head with the Americans in a battle of ideology, economics and art.

Det fine ved Gabe Polskys fornemme hyldest til det sovjetiske ishockeylandshold er dualiteten i de hårde arbejdsforhold og det elegante resultat.

Filmens helt store gevinst er manden i centrum, Fetisov, et tørt-kynisk og unostalgisk væsen, der hverken er glødende kommunist eller overfladisk kapitalist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Red Army about? Toggle content

Red Army is a documentary that tells the story of the most successful dynasty in sports history, the Red Army hockey team, and its captain, Slava Fetisov, who stood up to the powerful Soviet system. The film explores how sport mirrors social and cultural movements in Cold War Russia and how the demise of Communism marked the end of an era for both the Soviet Union and its national heroes. Through interviews with Fetisov and other Soviet stars, Red Army offers a unique perspective on the intersection of sports and politics during a time of great change.
