Here we have "Leningrad: Kolshik", a music video that runs for a bit over 4 minutes and you can read the song in the title for which this was made and also the name of the performers. OIt is in the Russian language, so maybe you will need subtitles in order to understand what's going on. Director is Ilya Naishuller and he also worked with several big-name American artists. But back to this one here: The most memorable aspect is probably the reverse chronology and how bloody and violent it all is with several people dying in front of the camera here. The "highlight" was probably a severed head rolling across the floor inside the circus arena. And hungry violent tigers the way you see them here on the imdb page's profile picture are really still the least of problems for the circus artists. Oh well, I personally liked the song not at all and the visual side didn't do much more for me I must say. Maybe it is still better to watch the video because the song alone is too forgettable and at least the video is somewhat spectacular I guess, but that does not mean it's good. The creative choice for the aforementioned reverse direction made hardly an impact at all and it would not have been a worse, probably a better, watch if it had been made just in normal chronology. Cannot really come up with any reason you may wanna check this one out. Maybe if you are a fan of Leningrad already. But my recommendation is to go for the Cowboys instead. Thumbs down for Kolshik. Not recommended and 2 out of 5 is still a fairly generous rating here I guess.
