An audacious, messy and sometimes inspired look at an out-of-work poet struggling to find his way in post-Communist Russia, plays like a metaphysical Moscow version of "Mad Men" - on acid.

This film chronicles Russia’s transition from communism to capitalism during the roaring 1990s after the fall of the Soviet Union. It follows Babylen Tatarsky, who conducts marketing campaigns that adapt western brands and slogans to the “Russian mentality.” A comedy, tragedy, and fantasy all in one about the disappearance of a way of life.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Delivers a brave, head-spinning commentary on the potency of advertising and the seduction of the soul.
Generation P is worth struggling through, even if it boggles you. In many ways, it's a keyhole into the future of the entire world.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
Generation P appears to be Russian slang for Generation Perestroika and "The Pepsi Generation," which nicely reflects this film's cockamamie spirit, sort of a cross between "Mad Men" and an acid trip.
