• The Capella Punk Parade

  In movie

  Scene where “In a scene from the movie “Backburns,” the Capella punks put on a provocative show in the street, demonstrating their vigor and protest. They dance and march with a large red cross, which attracts the attention of passersby and creates an atmosphere of tension. One of the punks, pretending to be a soldier, fires a machine gun in their direction and they suddenly fall to the ground, pretending to be dead. However, when the punks notice the police, the situation changes dramatically. They begin to move around chaotically, which emphasizes the absurdity of what is happening. This scene becomes a symbol of the chaos in the city and reflects the characters' willingness to use provocative actions to draw attention to their ideas. The scene illustrates the conflict between youth culture and the authorities by showing how the punks try to express their views through eccentric and risky actions. Their actions become a metaphor for the struggle for freedom of expression in the face of social pressure. Thus, this episodic scene not only entertains the viewer, but also makes them think about deeper social and political issues. It demonstrates how art can serve as a form of protest and a way to draw attention to important societal issues.”

  Scene was shot “The scene with the punks from “Capella”, filmed on Suvorovsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg, was not chosen by chance. This place symbolizes the transition period in Russian society in the late 1980s, when youth subcultures began to actively manifest themselves. Suvorovsky Prospekt, as an important traffic artery of the city, became an ideal background for demonstrating protest moods and eccentric behavior of the characters, which intensifies the atmosphere of chaos and absurdity.
