Our take
Although steeped in references to Dante, Buñuel, and Chekhov, Estonian director Veiko Õunpuu’s surrealistic parable of capitalism and social alienation still keeps things darkly funny. Riotously creative, this monochrome marvel tonally recalls the films of Roy Andersson and Aki Kaurismäki.
