Little Tragedies

In the "Little Tragedies", the main universal, eternal conflicts receive a specific interpretation: things, ideas and people collide. This is a "shifted" world, everything is at a breaking point here: the immobile moves, love triumphs on coffins, a subtle aesthetic sense leads to murder, and feasts turn out to be feasts of death.

Buratino, Son of Pinocchio

Imagine a mix of Repo Man, Oliver! and Pinocchio and you're on the road to grasping the tone of this bizarre Estonian take on Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy's character Buratino, a wooden boy (or boyus woodenus, as the doctors in the film refer to him). Buratino's virginal mother wishes upon a star for a son and is immediately answered by what can only be called a rape-splinter. The woman gives birth almost immediately to her little wooden Buratino.
