Tere Eesti! 2009 / Director: Jaak Kilmi
Disco and Atomic War
Pic argues that Finnish telecasts of Yank series ”Dallas”, soft-porn classic ”Emmanuelle” and disco-dancing footage won over the hearts and minds of Estonian auds to capitalism’s pleasures, paving the way for the breakup of Soviet Union. Roughly half the pic soberly recounts how Finnish television from the 1950s onward broadcast ”subversive” ideas to Estonia that ultimately undermined Soviet cultural hegemony.
