Inspired by the exhibition The Cool and the Cold, where mirror reflections and parallels in the fine art of the USA and USSR play such an important part, Revolverkino at Gropius Bau adds complementarity and complexity to the big picture with three surprising pairs of films.

Little Vera (Маленькая Вера, Vasili Pichul, USSR 1988), German version, 21:30
The trouble begins with a one-dollar bill. Vera’s parents find it among her things – and they are worried. Vera (Natalya Irena Nagoya) wants to live and love differently from her parents and her “model” brother. She does not want to wait and behave herself, but dresses like Western pop stars and acts accordingly. Even if the old values are falling apart in the latter-day Soviet Union, does that mean that now anything goes? Vera wants to find out – with tragic consequences. The film caused an uproar and was a huge success in 1988; more than 45 million people saw it in Russian cinemas.
