Feine Leute is quite a fascinating look at the fall and rise of Ülo Salm, a once-celebrated lawyer who found himself in a spiral of scandal. The documentary's tone is raw, capturing the stark contrast between his glamorous past and the harsh realities of his present. You get a real sense of the internal struggle as he grapples with his identity post-prison. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative, giving you space to ponder the themes of redemption and personal transformation. The practical effects here are minimal, mostly relying on real-life interviews and footage, which really grounds the story. It's distinct in how it blends societal critique with personal narrative, making you think about fame and its consequences.
