The road to rock ‘n’ roll fame is littered with casualties, and even the Leningrad Cowboys - “the worst rock ‘n’ roll band in the world” - have seen more than half their number fall by the wayside in the intervening years, the victims of their success in Mexico and an over-fondness for tequila. Their fortunes are revived however by the offer of a gig in New York.

Crossing the border illegally, the remaining members of the band discover that their career revival has been orchestrated by their former manager, Vladimir, now called Moses (Matti Pellonpää), who claims he has left behind his despotic ways and has been born-again. Through some obscure, mad notion that involves the theft of the nose from the Status of Liberty and a vision of the second coming where the Saviour will be born to a cow, Moses intends to lead the naturalised Mexican contingent of the remaining Leningrad Cowboys back home to rebuild the band ...if they can evade the clutches of a CIA agent on their trail as they make their return journey across Europe to the promised land.

With such a plot that sees the band rock through France, the Czech Republic, Poland and Russia to the bewildered local populations and the frustration of a French CIA agent (André Wilms), you would expect the film to inspire much hilarity, but Leningrad Cowboys Meet Moses actually falls very flat indeed – almost as flat as the poorly enunciated English dialogue. Visual incongruity is again the main source of any actual humour, and there is indeed some entertainment to be gained from the spoof spaghetti Western opening, as well as band’s arresting stage performances – the Mexican members of the band in particular cutting an absurd figure, especially when the band’s number is augmented by their Red Army uniform-wearing brothers. The film however never really lives up promise of its anarchic plot, which becomes increasingly random as it progresses over the over-long hour-and-a half length of an idea that has already long worn thin.
