Long Live the Scandals!

Original title: Elagu skandaalid ja kollased sandaalid

2018 | Documentary | Director: Manfred Vainokivi

Documentary about Estonian contemporary artist Leonhard Lapin.

Leonhard Lapin is the classic and the enfant terrible of Estonian contemporary art, constantly followed by scandals, lewd legends and envious grumbling. Lapin confidently steps on the cornea of mediocrity, enjoying the situation to the fullest. Loved by his muses, the artist is not ashamed of his dalliances. He still has plenty at the grand old age of 70. The new Estonian film opens the doors to a disappearing Bohemianism, in which racy vocabulary reigns instead of political correctness.
