So long, Dracula!

About This Movie

So long, Dracula! is an intriguing documentary that delves into the somber history of occupied Estonia during Stalin's reign. It captures this eerie atmosphere, where poets, in a strange twist, glorified a dictator whom many feared and loathed. The film's pacing feels deliberate, almost haunting, as it juxtaposes the romanticized tributes to Stalin with the stark realities faced by ordinary Estonians. You can feel the tension in the air, the weight of those lies. It's distinctly raw, relying on archival footage and personal testimonies that draw you in, making the viewer grapple with the dissonance of art versus the brutal reality. Not the usual doc style, that's for sure, and it sticks with you long after it's over.
