Kousaar's desperate self-promotion, 28 February 2008
2/10
Author: Martin Larkman from Estonia

Here in Estonia Kousaar is known for being a pushy young woman whose only goal is to become famous and for her nude modeling on magazine covers. Her Magnus script is even more weak than her previous "literature" - two so-called-novels, pathetic copies of Paulo Coelho style.

I find Kousaar's self-promotion efforts ridiculous. She has to remember for the future that it is not enough to be the first Estonian movie ever to be accepted to festivals... important thing for movies is to be good, not to have only pushy marketing strategies like in her case offering Estonian people hotel discounts in Riga, Latvia to go watch her movie. Discounts are offered via Magnus's official website. Really, need I say more?

With all my dislike for Kusaar and her modus operandi, I will say that director of photography did not do a bad job.
