Plot
A terrible rock band tours the United States.
Sinekatalog’s take
Aki Kaurismäki's deadpan road comedy follows a terrible Finnish band with towering hairdos through America. Absurd, dry and affectionate, it is a cult favourite of silly, musical anarchy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
