Я хотела увидеть ангелов

I Wanted to See Angels (1982) is a portrait of lost innocence and a scathing indictment of a capitalist society that fails to protect its working class. The film features a strong performance from Sergey Shakurov as Bob, a young man who is forced to go to Moscow to collect a bad debt, only to be met with a bureaucracy that's as corrupt and heartless as the criminals he's trying to confront. The film is a compelling and bleak look at the dark side of the Soviet dream, and it's a powerful reminder of the dangers of unchecked greed.
