Sügisball

Usually, I like seeing movies about cultures that we don't often see, and so an Estonian movie should be an addition to that number. Unfortunately, Veiko Õunpuu's "Sügisball" ("Autumn Ball" in English) doesn't show us anything except people leading miserable lives. Seriously, I couldn't identify ANY real purpose to the movie. I spent a weekend in Estonia and had a good time, but this movie makes it look as if nothing pleasant ever happens there. I would have really hoped that the northernmost Baltic country could put together something at least a little more interesting than this.

So, just avoid this piece of prügi (look up what that means in Estonian).
