Nice cinematography, 27 April 2004
Author: bignaco from USA

The cinematography is beautiful in this mess of a film. I heard the director speak somewhere and he mentioned that the film was originally intended to be a ten-part miniseries for Estonian TV. That is apparent when you watch the film jump from one moment to the next completely unrelated moment and feel utterly confused. It's a mythological tale and it seems that the director and editor use the genre to justify it's lack of continuity. Unfortunately, it is irritating. It sometimes feels like a vanity piece for lead actor, Rein Kotov who does a good job in the role of a man haunted by "the heart of the bear". It's a very stange film that's seems torn between being an art film and being mainstream. If you see it, see it for the cinematography and to see something in the Estonian language, which is interesting enough.
