From Amazon.co.uk
Robin Williams is in his fuzzy, sensitive-with-bittersweet-touches mode in Moscow on the Hudson. Playing a musician in a Russian circus who gets talked into defecting by a pal and does so in the middle of Bloomingdale's. A great concept, to be sure, but writer-director Paul Mazursky doesn't seem to know where to go from there. Williams winds up living in the same kind of poverty that he did in Russia, casting about for a way to make a living while both wallowing and drowning in the sudden tidal wave of freedom. Mazursky wants to make a point about how little we appreciate what we have, but he fails to entertain in the process--or at least to engage in a consistent way. --Marshall Fine, Amazon.com

I'm guessing that when "Moscow on the Hudson" first came out, it looked kind of silly and unrealistic. But now that the Cold War has long since ended, it looks better (and watching the movie, you can see why the Soviet Union was imploding). Robin Williams, in one of his more easygoing roles, plays Russian saxophonist Vladimir Ivanoff, who defects while his group is performing in New York.

The languages aren't English and Russian, but English in LCRS and Mono French, German, Italian and Spanish.
Probably no big setback for most people, but I wanted to practice my Russian.

For the ones that wish to know about real life (the fun part, let's say) behind the Iron Curtain. Funny and emotional.

Ok
This is a little dated but Robin Williams really makes the film. Interesting and a little funny, not one of his best works but certainly not appalling otherwise. Read more
