2000 | Documentary | Director: Tambet Tasuja
Something is Rotten or All the Lie About Hamlet

2000 | Feature film, Short | Director: Ilmar Raag

Short film directed by Ilmar Raag telling about the well-known story of Hamlet the Danish prince in a completely different way.

A story about a man who hated happiness because he considered it to be amoral. The black comedy with English actors turns the famous story by Shakespeare about Prince Hamlet completely upside down. It turns out that Shakespeare understood everything totally wrong at his time. There is no reason to hold Hamlet as a hero, since he does not want to pay back for his father's murder not to become a king. The central character of the story is Horatio who acts in order to establish justice and save the country's moral.

Estonian Film Database (EFDB)

The database is maintained by NGO Estonian Film Database. It was opened on 12.12.2012 and is meant for providing information about the whole Estonian film heritage from 1912. We plan fully complete it by 2025 but already now full and partial entries for about 20 000 films, 27 000 filmmakers, and more than 200 production companies could be retrieved in Estonian and partly in English. Translation of film descriptions and keywords into English is ongoing but due to the scarcity of resources quite a slow process. Read more detailed overview.
