The Temptation of St. Tony

(2009)Directed by Veiko Õunpuu115 minDrama
“The most stupendous and bone chilling tragedy about the agony and decline of one middle-level manager”

Tony (Taavi Eelmaa), a mid-level manager, is already tired of being a good person when the film begins, and he starts asking what that goodness has ever done for him. Veiko Õunpuu surrounds him with figures like Nadezhda (Ravshana Kurkova) and Count Korzybski (Denis Lavant), each pulling him toward questions he cannot answer. His middle age, his marriage and his position at work all start to loosen, and he has no idea how to get a grip on any of them.
