To Each His Own

About This Movie

To Each His Own (1990) is a fascinating blend of comedy and drama, set against the backdrop of Estonia's shifting landscape. The film follows Citizen A, who is just trying to navigate the absurdity of a world that's rapidly changing—a theme that resonates deeply, especially for those who've experienced transitions in life. The pacing feels both deliberate and erratic, mirroring Citizen A's own hesitations and missteps. The practical effects are minimal but effective, drawing more focus to the performances, which are sincere and often poignant. There's a distinct sense of irony throughout, and the absurd situations he's thrust into feel both relatable and surreal. It’s a unique piece that captures the essence of an era, while also being very much a character study.
