The Singing Revolution (USA, 2006)
dir. James Tusty, Maureen Castle Tusty
rating: ✶
The documentary recounts aspects of Estonian recovery of sovereignty with the implosion of the Soviet Union. It is recounted in a breathless, patriotic style without historical nuance, and numerous crowd scenes of beautiful blond singers.
On reflection I reduced the film from two to just one star. Critics need to recognize the film for what is is: little more than ethnic propaganda.
