Film director Kaaren Kaer with his friends has made an excellent film about history of Estonia - little country in Eastern Europe. Some people call it parody, yes, may be it is parody of film. But actually it touches all the European history and many European countries (France,Italy, Germany, Russia)in 12th century. This film has surprisingly fresh feeling: I can call it also the parody of historical movies, author laughts about large scale American movies with thousands of fighters and the seas with blood. We can call it black humor, I can only admire directors courage to show his own country, people and history in such a sarcastic way.And this film is good way to understand the way of thinking of little countries and their strange culture. After I saw this film, I can say: this film discovers new style of historical movies, that is stylish and shocking as was Lars Von Triir's movie Idiots in 1998. If Western Europe has nothing to say anymore, Eastern Europe has not spoken yet!!!
