The Bullshevicks

In an audacious narrative turn, "The Bullshevicks" plunges two unassuming newspaper reporters, Eddie and Lee, into a whirlwind of fabricated chaos orchestrated by Mildred, a captivating yet thoroughly theatrical Russian countess. This isn't just a simple caper; it's a meticulously constructed burlesque, a grand, ludicrous charade designed to ensnare our protagonists in a web of escalating criminality. From petty larceny to more audacious transgressions, Eddie and Lee find themselves compelled by unseen forces, or perhaps by their own burgeoning anxieties, to commit a litany of offenses. The film deftly navigates this descent into a farcical underworld, where the lines between performance and reality blur, only to pull the rug out from under the audience with the ultimate revelation: the entire elaborate spectacle, the vamping countess, the forced crimes, the dizzying plunge into the absurd—all of it was merely an elaborate dream, a nocturnal phantasmagoria dissolving with the dawn.
