Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and music lovers. Nobody is quite who they seem. Sits nicely alongside Inside Llewyn Davis or A Complete Unknown. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 17 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Cezars Kalnins installs telephones by day and composes pop songs by night. His band has a hard time receiving the permit from Soviet censorship authorities for a public debut. A member of the Culture Committee superficially listens to Cēzars' songs and deems the lyrics "unsuitable and frivolous” and "unfit for the Soviet youth”, and is later powerless to stop the grindstone of public debate, which she has herself initiated.
