About This Movie

Merry Christmas in Paris! or The Gang of Lesbians is this wild ride through the underbelly of 1990s Russia. The film has this gritty, almost claustrophobic atmosphere as it follows four women—Redhead, Blackie, May Lily, and Irina—who navigate survival through chaotic means. They lure men into their flat, where the tension builds, leading to unexpected violence. The pacing is unpredictable, echoing the unstable world they inhabit. The performances are raw, embodying a sense of desperation intertwined with dark humor. And the hulking bodyguard, Baban, adds a layer of menace that keeps things edgy. It’s this unique blend of drama and crime wrapped in a personal struggle that makes it a notable entry in underground cinema.
