IMDB 6.4 | Oct , 2014
Rocky IV is dually symbolic - it embodies both the victory of the American boxer over the Soviet one and the victory of neo-liberalism over a dwindling socialism. Today, Rocky is held up as a model by some and is a subject of derision for others. An emblem of the 1980s, its culture and its heroes, the film will be the subject of an entertaining analysis of popular culture.Une taupe de la STASI à la NSA : l'insoupçonnable Sergent Carney

Françoise Hardy is one of the rare artists who keeps an intact aura and arouses such a fascination throughout her career with all generations.
