This month we're looking back at the notable films of the past year (or two). First off is an Estonian film nominated for the Foreign Language Oscar, taking place during the 1992 War in Abkhazia.
> With 83 countries in this year’s foreign language Oscar race, competition is stiff, and predictions are tricky. One of the strongest contenders is the entry from Estonia, Tangerines. Although the subject of civil war within the former Soviet countries has been tackled in other movies, this retelling is one of the most concise and affecting. Perhaps it works because it focuses on just a few characters and yet crystallizes the entire tragic history of the region. ~~ Stephen Farber, Hollywood Reporter
> Though generally categorized as a war drama, the newest picture from Georgian director Zaza Urushadze only uses war as a background to its moralizing and mightily effective story. ~~ Patryk Czekaj, Twitchfilmhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt2991224/referencehttp://estonianworld.com/culture/estonian-georgian-film-tangerines-wins-international-awards/I'm trying out a new Film Club banner in the "announcement" section of the page. Let me know if there are problems with the display on your end. Also let me know if you're interested in designing future banners! Finally,
to suggest films for the upcoming weeks, please do so in the proper thread: >>3000Post last edited at

I've never seen an Estonian film before, although this is kind of a Georgian film too.
Not a bad little production, a simple yet effective scenario with beautiful images. I could tell it was ogre when they talked about all going to a play in Tblisi. One thing I'm confused is choice of the English name "Tangerines" …because the one word you clearly heard then saying again and again was "mandarin."
Since this film is in the Oscar race, I do give the edge to the more complex Leviathan.

Any torrents available for this?
I will stream Leviathan tomorrow (Sat.) at noon eastern.

I think this link was posted earlier, but it should be good

Not a regular here, but I wanted to commend your for your efforts in the announcements section!
It looks really nice and it shows that you know how to maintain interest in a board.

Any of you guys got a link to good subtitles?
Both of the english subs I've downloaded are poorly synced, even after speeding em up with VLC it's still wonky. Some match up, others are still delayed.
▶ No.3154
I watched the hard-subbed version, so it was a little distracting to have 2 sets of subtitles onscreen.
I did manage to sync the subs (as much as possible). I think I moved them back 0.5 seconds.
I can post them later if you still can't get it to work. But since I didn't download the good rip, I don't know how closely they will sync with it.
▶ No.3155>>3172
ok, the subs are 24 fps and your rip is 25 fps if you used the above link
i converted the framerate with subtitle workshop
i can't test these, but maybe they will work for you

I've been avoiding the film because I didn't think it would be good.
▶ No.3181>>3182
>>3180Also, are there subs for when they speak Russian only?
▶ No.3182
>>3181There's not too much Russian spoken, but the hard subbed version has Estonian subs during the Russian parts
and Russian for all the rest

>>3180> I've been avoiding the film because I didn't think it would be good.Why did you feel that way? If you do watch it, I'd be interested to hear your perspective on it as an Estonian.
▶ No.3229
>>3204I don't think we really have the talent or the budget to produce a good film. I will be sure to watch it this weekend and give you my perspective.
