The Leningrad Cowboys Meet Moses ( Engl. Leningrad Cowboys Meet Moses ) is a comedy of Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki from 1994. It is the sequel to the film Leningrad Cowboys Go America .
action
The Eastern European band Leningrad Cowboys , which once found their salvation in Mexico and celebrated success there for years, is financially at the end. During a gig in New York they meet their former, despotic manager Vladimir, who now calls himself Moses and immediately takes over the command again. It should go back home under his leadership. Since Moses stole the nose of the Statue of Liberty before leaving the USA , the Leningrad Cowboys are followed on their chaotic journey home by an agent of the American secret service.
criticism
"Fader second infusion of a thin story, the sparse highlights of which lie in the photography and the weird musical performances."
backgrounds
The film, which, like its predecessor , is conceived as a humorous road movie , parodies and satirizes various film classics, including John Huston's The Bible , whose pathetic-religious fervor is targeted by the figure of Moses.
The band, still fictional in Leningrad Cowboys Go America and invented by Aki Kaurismäki, whose actors used their film roles as a model to found a real group under the same name , were already a well-known and numerically greatly increased big band when the Leningrad Cowboys Meet Moses was shot in 1994 , had released four albums in the meantime and made two music videos with Aki Kaurismäki in 1992.
