The Baltic States are priceless in movies. Every single movie with this environment I’ve seen was captivating in some way or another – just like this one. A Lady in Paris is about Estonians and it’s set in Paris. It’s all done in a very pleasant manner. They don’t speak much and when they do, it’s straight to the point. An Estonian lady who comes to Paris is strolling thought the streets and she’s looking around just like I was when I was in Paris for the first time. The camerawork is gorgeous and, in the end, the characters are a joy to watch, too. They’re interesting and human, just like the movie itself.
