THE TEMPTATION OF ST. TONY

A mid-level manager who develops an aversion to being “good” finds himself confronting the mysteries of middle-age and morality as he loses grasp of what was once his quiet life.

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.
