Colorful, in Many Ways
To be honest, I didn't expect so much! Previous new Estonian movie I saw, was a vulgar horror with many good actors and it was too tiring to even search a reasonable sense in this. I apologize.
But, Soo was different! Thank you for coming to Pärnu tonight, it was memorable premier with some cast and with some authors.
I liked this movie, because it was honest! There was a pure example - always has existed people who are different from what is expected of them, but still they can be valuable in many different ways.
And more - the movie soundtrack was really good, likewise work with a camera.
Thank you for actors - you made this script memorable. Might even think - Oskar Luts wrote this story just last year not a little more than hundred years ago.
By the way. This movie was totally different from a play "Soo" with Elmo Nüganen and Merle Jääger. Probably times are different. So, I recommend this movie and you will get one nice touching story from history.
Foggy swamp
Young painter returns from Paris to his brother's farm during WWI. Farm is in a small village near the swamp, he's comeback affects multiple relationships, something must change.
Good roles - memorable bad guy Martin Kork and I liked all the others too. Story is based on a quite little-known book but was interesting enough to follow.
