Salyut-7 is, one could say, the Russian Apollo 13. When at the top of his game, filmmaker Klim Shipenko has the deftness and production values to rival Hollywood, and with this film he has staged a breathtaking reconstruction of the real-life rescue mission that prevented the Soviet space station Salyut 7 from crashing to Earth in 1985, in the middle of the Cold War. A dizzying spectacle.
