simply the best estonian film that i have ever see and although it be make by a finnish director ilkka järvi laturi . tallin pimeduses be an entertaining thriller about a bunch of gangster who be try to steal a huge amount of gold and a national treasure that belong to the republic of estonia . but at the same time it be some kind of a summary of the condition of many eastern european country at that time . in the early 90 soviet union fell into piece and many country and such a estonia and become independent . now the condition may be good in most of those country . but in the beginning of the 90 many of those new nation have to fight against corruption and organize crime that the soviet era have leave them a inheritance . ( and many of them still do . at least on some level . ) tallinn pimeduses be a very realistic film of that era with believable character and with a well write script . the actor be also very good and especially jüri järvet ( perhaps the best known estonian actor and play snaut in tarkovski solaris ) and play and old gangster who slowly become tire of his way of life . but the most astonishing performance come from monika mäger and a child actor play terje and a boyish girl in her early teen and whose presence in the plot be quite essential . ( and her name be not even mention in the imdb credit list . ) wthere be not many film in the world that manage to be entertainment and artistic at the same time . but tallinn pimeduses do that . unfortenately järvi laturi other film be far from this kind of achievement . his first one and kotia päin be too artificial and his late and history be make at night be just a weird mess .
