L'éclair noir

You drive a beater around Moscow. It gets you to class and back. But one day the old Volga bursts into flight, and then you're fighting crime. A shady mogul wants the skies for himself. Director Kiselev's superhero origin story arrived as Russia's answer to a wave of Western comic adaptations. It leaves viewers with pure, weightless fun.
