Dead Mountaineer's Hotel A.K.A. "Hukkunud Alpinisti" hotell, Отель "У погибшего альпиниста" (1979)

A Soviet Estonian mystery directed by Grigori Kromanov.
An inspector is called to a hotel in a snowy, mountainous area. When he gets there, the owner says that he did not call. Unable to leave immediately because of weather and road conditions, the inspector stays at the hotel and meets the strange guests. Strange things then occurr, like a man strangling a copy of himself, cryptic messages, missing people, hidden guns and a supposed murder. The inspector tries to figure out what is going on.
Very strange. It almost looked like it was supposed to be an art film. There were tons of shots with only back lighting so people had glowing auras. It also looked more like 1969 than 1979, but that's just Soviet film technology. The plot was vague and not clearly presented. It could have made better use of fewer characters than it made poor use of many characters. There was tons of audio dead air noise, but again, Soviet film technology. I rate this tolerable. If you really want to watch it, be sure you know what it is.

The Class A.K.A. Klass (2007)

An Estonian drama directed by Ilmar Raag.
A high school boy is picked on by other students in his class. One of his former tormentors decides to protect him from the others.
This was not too shabby. The plot definitely held my attention all the way through as the action escalated. The two dynamic characters were good, but the others were very static. The video style initially caught my eye, but got buried by the plot eventually. The soundtrack seemed appropriate, but was very limited. Only techno. The pacing increased through the duration in line with the action. Overall, a decent flick. I think that it conformed to the school violence fad that was going on at the time though. I rate this adequate. You may want to check it out.
