'Generation P.' review: Trippy "Generation P," an audacious, messy and sometimes inspired look at an out-of-work poet struggling to find his way in post-Communist Russia, plays like a metaphysical Moscow version of "Mad Men" - on acid. A parallel story about the media-manipulating Cult of Ishtar slows the movie down, not to mention an overabundance of political discourse, digital tricks and mob world dealings. There is a lot of ambition and talent on the screen, and some of the philosophical musings are thought-provoking.
