Risttuules/In the Crosswind (2014)
This film departs from our focus on the comedy genre. The film is based on the letters of an Estonian woman who was deported to a gulag by the Soviets during the Second World War. The movie is both a mournful, but beautiful meditation on the plight of the Baltic people’s under the power of Europe’s greater nations.
The film received critical acclaim at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2014, for its use of the tableau vivant technique, where still images are seemingly brought to life in front of the camera. The screening at our festival will mark its Australian premier.
Language: Estonian, English subtitles
MA15+: Children under 15 must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian for the duration of the film.
