FED UP!
(KORINI!)
2005, Peeter Simm, Estonia, 97 min.

Packed with screwball situations and wacky characters, FED UP! is a black-comedy road movie with Tallinn as the destination. Unknown to a morose truck driver who’s just made a date with suicide (his wife took off with his best friend), the loot from a robbery is stashed in his rig and he’s being pursued by the thief, the thief’s undertaker chauffeur, a homesick cellist, and his wife’s lover. In Estonian with English subtitles. 35mm print courtesy of the Estonian Film Foundation. (BS)

MEN AT ARMS
(MALEV)
2005, Kaaren Kaer, Estonia, 109 min.
With Ott Sepp, Mirtel Pohla
En garde, Monty Python--here comes the comedy collective O-Fraktsioon with a medieval spoof detailing a Teutonic invasion of Estonia circa 1208. No kidding! Bring on the hot rocks and the monster hedgehog (the Estonian equivalent of a Trojan horse) for a meeting of the warlord minds as heroic Uru seeks to triumph over hordes that swell to include the French, the Russians, and the dreaded Latvians. Lots of faux blood guaranteed. In Estonian with English subtitles. 35mm print courtesy of the Estonian Film Foundation. (BS)
