The adaptation of the legendary rock opera by Alexey Rybnikov comes to life on the big screen - a tragic story of the search for freedom, love, and gold sounds fresh and touching. "The Star and Death of Joaquín Murieta" is an opportunity to once again touch upon one of the most poignant and musically expressive rock operas of Soviet cinema. This film is based on the play by Pavel Grushko and the music of Alexey Rybnikov - a composer who managed to combine poetry and drive in a single sound canvas.
