Spinning Boris

The improbable but true story of three American political consultants hired to manage Russian President Boris Yeltsin's successful 1996 bid for re-election - his country's first free election in 1000 years - this political satire stars Jeff Goldblum, Anthony LaPaglia and Liev Schreiber as the top-gun image experts who not only remake the ailing, unpopular leader's public profile but also convince a nation to denounce communism. Svetlana Efremova costars in this film from director Roger Spottiswoode ("Tomorrow Never Dies").
