Liverpool docklands; factories, pubs, clubs, sex and dreams. A heady combination of humour, pathos, and desperation. Two Liverpool lasses meet two Russian sailors and hook up for a night of fun and frolics. Teresa is looking for sex and a smile, Elaine wants more, love romance, and the dream of life far away from the grime of 80's Liverpool. Elaine finds the love she craves in Peter, but he has to return to Russia. No-one wants their love to survive so she writes to Soviet leader Brezhnev and he writes back. The chance of a lifetime or a lifetime of chance in a Russian society no better than Liverpool? One of the all time great British movies, a superb script by Frank Clarke and stunning performances from all the cast make this a film to treasure.

Letter to Brezhnev review by Swambi
Not worth watching
(0) of (1) members found this review helpful.
Potentially a good plot, but as it is all shot in Liverpool (a few contrasting scenes of Russia would have improved the film) and much of the acting very wooden, it did not live up to expectations - I wouldn't recommend watching this one. Only a few moments when the film "came alive" and then only temporarily.
