Itzhak Perlman - Perlman In Russia (DVD)
Part documentary and part concert film, PERLMAN IN RUSSIA follows the well-known master violinist during his historic tour of Russia and features two of his concert performances there. On the 150th anniversary of Tchaikovsky's death, Perlman performed the Russian composer's famous Violin Concerto in D at the Bolshoi Philharmonic Hall in Leningrad. This was also the first appearance Perlman and the accompanying Israel Philharmonic in Russia. During this same tour, Perlman also played a solo concert at the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow. In addition to those masterful performances, this release also contains documentary footage capturing Perlman on the streets of Russia and back stage to offer a glimpse into the man whose talent with a violin is among the best in the world.

Teenage LSD dealer Simon (Devon Sawa) freaks out at a rock concert and winds up in rehab. There, he reflects on his life and butts heads with Kate (Charlayne Woodard), his drug counselor. In flashbacks, his dope-smoking boarding school roommate (Eric Maibus) takes him to his first show (the band is never identified, but it's presumably The Grateful Dead) where he meets Trace (Colman Domingo), HIV-positive hedonist Kevin (Henri Lubatti), and lovely blonde stir-fry vendor Jennifer (Tara Reid). Under the influence of pot and acid, Simon falls in love with the tie-dyed lifestyle, the groovy music, and the people. Eventually, unresolved issues send him into a downward spiral of drug abuse, until finally, with Kate's help, he faces buried grief over his dead mother and resentment towards his affluent, controlling father (Bill Smitrovitch).This colorful, good-hearted indie film benefits from groovy music, an authentic recreation of the culture, and fine performances, particularly from Domingo, Smitrovitch, and Woodard. Most interesting of all is the film's non-judgmental frankness about both the spiritually liberating and self-destructive aspects of psychedelic drug use. John Jacobsen directed this movie from a script by producers (and former Deadheads) John Comerford and Tommy Rosen.
