A Room and a Half

In this unusual, original and surprisingly lyrical biopic, Russian poet Joseph Brodsky (Grigoriy Dityatkovskiy) is forced into permanent exile in the U.S. in the early 1970s, but -- in a flight of filmmaking fancy -- secretly returns to his beloved homeland. In real life, Brodsky never saw mother Russia again, but did once say that if he were to return, he would do so anonymously. Through the power of cinema, Brodsky finally gets his chance.
