About This Movie

Steps (1987) is this curious blend of comedy, drama, and fantasy that you don't see coming. The film dives into a tourist group's experience with Soviet virtual reality tech, but it’s not just about the gimmick. The atmosphere is playful yet reflective, with a quirky pacing that keeps you engaged. The practical effects, given the period, have this charmingly rough quality that adds to the film's unique tone. The performances, especially from the ensemble cast, bring a delightful energy, and there's this underlying exploration of reality versus illusion that’s quite intriguing. It's a unique slice of its time, definitely stands out in the landscape of 80s cinema.
