  Canadian rocker Bryan Adams ranges among the giants of mainstream rock. Over 25 years in business have made him one of the world's bestselling artists. Though his I'm-just-the-bass-player-in-the-band attitude might feel a bit understated that's exactly what Bryan Adams is all about. His mix of down-to-earth rock songs and sensitive ballads gained him various Top Ten hits and platinum albums making him one of the biggest rock stars originating in the 80s. Following the footsteps of genre-related superstars Bruce Springsteen and John Cougar Mellencamp Bryan Adams knows how to smoothe the edges to make his songs perfect fodder for radio stations - expertly crafted and extremely successful. His honest face-on live shows have earned him a reputation as one of the best live acts around. Apart from supporting organisations like Greenpeace Amnesty International or NetAid/London Adams has taken part in numerous charity concerts including The Prince's Trust Live Aid and The Concert for Freedom for Nelson Mandela.

  The residents of a Russian mental institution become unwittingly involved in the Chechen War in this darkly romantic film by Andrei Konchalovsky (TANGO AND CASH). Janna (Julia Vysotsky) is a romantically delusional inmate who thinks she's engaged to pop star Bryan Adams. When the war comes, the medical staff flees the hospital, leaving her more or less in charge. Chechen soldiers soon invade the grounds and one of them proposes to her as a joke. She thinks he's sincere though, and finds her affections torn between the soldier and her fantasies of Adams. Through this odd love story, Konchalovsky effectively explores the parallels between the insanity of war and the insanity of the inmates, and he does so without being obvious or didactic. Also effective is the film's grainy, bleached-out look, which, combined with the realistic lunacy on display, recalls the work of Dogme '95 directors like Lars Von Trier. What sets HOUSE OF FOOLS apart from that pack, however, is the kindness and warmth of its characters, particularly Janna, who soothes the nerves of soldiers and patients alike with her compassion and accordion playing. Vysotksky gives a remarkable performance in the role, couching her character's raw vulnerability in a protective bed of delusion. As the object of her fantasies, Adams gamely appears as himself, strolling through the bomb-blasted corridors as he lip-syncs Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman. HOUSE OF FOOLS was filmed largely at an actual Russian mental institution, with many of the inmates appearing as themselves.
