Eastern Europe, the new century. Wolflike laws and a wolflike appetite. There are still a few who look for the withered tree of knowledge of good and evil, planning to build quality office furniture out of it. The Temptation of St. Tony is a film about a man, who has reached middle age, and finds himself in exactly the kind of darkening forest that Dante describes. An unusual problem intrudes upon his moderately prosperous and quiet life – morality. Is it possible to be a “good person”? What does that mean anyway? And what’s in it for you? On his journey towards a clearer conscience but an increasingly complicated reality, Tony meets several typical specimens familiar from contemporary Estonian society and lives through exciting adventures, not without some diverting humour. And it starts to seem that slowly, and quite inevitably, the man loses his job, his family, and finally a reality, itself. Compassion incurs a capital loss. (Homeless Bob Production)

Deutsch Die surreale Schwarz-Weiß-Metapher zeigt in einem unerbittlichen Licht die zeitgenössische Manager-Welt und den wahren russischen Luxus auf Estnisch. Hier wird blasphemisch eine neue Version über die Legende eines Heiligen mit einer kompromisslosen Absurdität und einer zuschauerisch äußerst anspruchsvollen Form verknüpft. Heraus kommt hierbei ein schwer erreichbares, innerlich jedoch sehr reichhaltig und reiches Netz an Symbolen und Bedeutungen. Zutritt verboten für Ottonormalzuschauer, wärmstens empfohlen für Filmdevianten. [MFF KV 2010] ()
