Dossier

About This Movie

Dossier (1990) is an intriguing documentary that captures a unique moment in post-Soviet history. Shot through a lens that's both analytical and deeply personal, it unfolds as Baltic economists grapple with the complex financial ties between Estonia and Russia, sparked by Gorbachev's remarks. The pacing feels almost conversational, as various voices contribute to the evolving narrative. You get a glimpse of the tension and urgency of the era, mixed with a sort of somber reflection on national identity and economic independence. It’s not flashy—no big productions or special effects—but the raw sincerity of the interviews and the stark imagery really set the tone. Definitely a film that rewards multiple viewings, as you pick up on the nuances each time.
