Former Soviet Union president Mikhail Gorbachev gets his due in “Meeting Gorbachev,” an engaging and touching valedictory to one of the most pivotal figures of the 20th century. The man who helped end the Cold War, who advanced nuclear disarmament and was politically sidelined at a crucial point in his country’s history may not be well known by younger generations in America. But in Germany, where “Meeting Gorbachev” was produced, he’s a hero. “I love you,” Werner Herzog, the film’s co-director, says to his subject at one point.
