Moscow on the Hudson
1984
****
Director: Paul Mazursky
Cast: Robin Williams, Maria Conchita Alonso, Cleavant Derricks, Alejandro Rey
A delightful drama comedy about a Russian saxophone player who defects to the West. As it turns out his life in New York is no bed of roses either. The film is truthful about the immigrant experience and the balanced script is nicely critical of both the Soviet Union and the USA.
