The title of the Russian Cherez Sto Let V Mae translated to May, Hundred Years After. This comparatively little-known historical film chronicles the life and death of Russian war hero Viktor Kingisepp. Juri Kurkov plays Kingisepp, who was killed in Estonia in the waning days of World War I. Avoiding cliched battle scenes, the film zeroes in on the human tragedy of total warfare. Like most foreign films with a supposedly narrow appeal, Cherez Sto Let V Mae was little seen outside of the big-city art house circuit, which is a shame. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In Estonia, in 1925, revolution, counterrevolution and harsh measures were facts of everyday life. At the time, Estonia was independent from the Soviet Union. In this story, Anton is a Soviet agent in "bourgeois" Estonia. He is exposed to betrayals, double-crosses, torture, and phony trials, either for himself or for those he knows. The title means that you can only know the extent of the loss one suffers in death by asking the dead. This film received a Grand Prize at the All-Union Film Festival. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
