Trailer: The Trotsky — Feature Narrative, 2009

Like most high schoolers, Leon Bronstein (Jay Baruchel) is having an identity crisis. He believes he is the reincarnation of Soviet thinker Leon Trotksy and predestined to follow the same path as his namesake. Tackling issues from students' rights to semiformal dances, this "revolutionary" comedy will have you united in laughter.

Looks great! And funny!

@ronwilson49 No he was a real Communist, he didn't really murder anyone. No more than any commander of an army of a Capitalist country fighting for its survival.

Great movie, but let's not be so stupid as to make the real Leon Trotsky out to have been a political prophet and all-around cool guy. That would be lame.
