Je suis la folle de Brejnev

This documentary focuses on the repression of homosexuals in the USSR during the Soviet regime. Trials, deportations, gulags, disappearances and executions, homosexuality was ferociously repressed. Communism condemned for a long time sexual practices considered subversive and which, even today, are difficult to perceive and live simply. With his very personal tone, the director is also interested in Soviet icons (Nureyev, Eisenstein).
