NOVEMBER
Watchable. Weird. Among the Polish Film Institute experts who recommended financing this four-country co-production are Xawery Żuławski, who made "Wojna polsko-ruska" (Polish-Russian War") and Agnieszka Holland, responsible for "Pokot" ("Spoor") - both equally weird movies. Starts and ends with predominance of white. The whole film is black and white, with amateurish costumes and old music which gives an impression of a movie made a few decades ago. Specific style of acting makes me wonder if it's a maladroit flop or mid-20th-century on purpose. Lots of Estonian folklore hardly comprehensible to the outside world. It has some charm of an old folk tale with magic but looks like theatre shot on locations. Slow and lengthy hence tiring too.
