Citizen Lyoshka is this quirky comedy from '81 that really captures the absurdity of bureaucracy. You’ve got Leshka Ignatov, a lumberjack foreman, who’s watching all his hard work go to waste as timber rots by the roadside—totally frustrating, right? His journey to Moscow brings in a mix of humor and a touch of satire that feels very raw. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, but it adds to the charm. Performances are earnest, and there’s a certain authenticity in the practical effects. The film, while comedic, digs into themes of mismanagement and the struggle of the working class against an indifferent system. It’s not polished, but it’s got a unique voice that sticks with you.
