“Jolly Fellows” in Oh-so-homo Moscow

A new film by Felix Mikhailov, “Jolly Fellows” ["Veselchaki"], is a story about five travesty actors – drag queens – who definitely feel the tension between their life style on high heels and their “male” sex according to their passports.

It’s a show. It’s a drama. And according to the main character’s phrase, it’s a “fucking happiness”. On October, 13th, 2009 the movie is in theaters in Moscow. It will be interesting enough to observe the reaction of the Russian – in its majority still – homophobic society to this film.
