‘Disco and Atomic War’ argues that American pop culture lost the Cold War for the communists (opening today @ Cinema Village)
November 12th, 2010 by gothamfilm received 3 Comments »This documentary, helmed by Estonian director Jaak Kilmi, takes an extremely distinctive, lighthearted, and convincing approach to arguing how the communists lost the Cold War. “Disco and Atomic War” won the Best Documentary prize at the Warsaw International Film Festival with a unique and provocative argument. The film argues that American television showed the pleasures of capitalism to Estonian citizens and subsequently undermined Soviet cultural control. As citizens of the information age, it’s becoming more and more important that we acknowledge the role of communication in effecting change. Reviews have been positive — it has a score of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.

It’s the true story of how the Soviet government that ruled Estonia into the 1980s began to lose control when somebody discovered they could illegally tap into Western TV from neighboring Finland. (NY Post)
Opening today at Cinema Village in the West Village.
