# Great Estonian Cinema
A hot summer at the end of the 1990s. But I think that wasn't the case. aastal, et kuulutada 90ndate segaste aegade nostalgia renessanssi.
The film is visually breathtaking with sometimes magnificently haunting score and actors are mostly doing top notch job (actually I didn't expect nothing less considering the cast), and with that my praise basically ends. But the film also records the journey of a searching mind as it wrestles with a sense of life’s futility.
Note!
Filmi produtsent on Maie Rosmann-Lill ja operaator Sten-Johan Lill, stsenaariumi kirjutasid Triin Ruumet ja Greta Varts. Thus, the attitudes, ways of communication and events depicted seem realistic - praise for the Director/Screenwriter who was a small child back then - but still I can hardly regard it conceptional.
In a sense, it is a typical Estonian film: great/good actors, uneven plot, small budget not enabling "smooth switching"...
Although it occasionally captured the essence of rural and small town mentality and the characters were spot on (these types still can be seen today in smaller towns) the core was missing. Lükkad oma pea kuklasse ja vaatad nokamütsi varjust taevasse ning mõtled: "Mida selle eluga küll peale hakata?" Ja siis sa tunned, et keegi võiks sind hellalt hoida küll.
Süsimusta huumoriga vürtsitatud tragikomöödia “Päevad, mis ajasid segadusse” tegevus toimub 1990.
One such diversion, however, ends in an accident that leads Allar to reflect on his life and to try to start living more meaningfully.

The Days That Confused
7BeneCumb
The period was less confusing than its implementation on screen
In the late 1990ies, I was only a bit older than the leading characters of the film, but as I lived in a big city, have never liked thumping music and noisy bars, I do not have personal touch of such a lifestyle.
The interior, the essence of being "stuck" in a distant rural area provides similar outputs as visible in the film in question. But through my friends and relatives, I have distant knowledge. The pacing is off, the story and script is all over the place - it wanted to be youth comedy/drama and crime drama and something philosophical at the same time, but fell apart.
The first half or so and the very beginning are the strongest parts.
PS The real black humour (this film is advertised as tragicomedy) lies in the fact that, since that period, only the exterior has evolved or changed. Estonian cinema (and television) is in the craze of the nostalgia at the moment, and 'The Days That Confused' could have been an excellent addition in that department.
On the other hand, I wonder how their rendering is perceived by foreigners, by those who have never seen them before or only casually. Maybe that was the director's intention to confuse the audience thus the title 'The Days That Confused'. Particularly the male ones stick out, female performances are weaker and have less scene time, and none of them could be mentioned as undoubtedly better/memorable than the others.

Pingelised ja jaburad sündmused panevad Allari oma elu üle tõsiselt järele mõtlema ning ees ootab pöörane eneseotsing Eesti üheksakümnendates.“Päevad, mis ajasid segadusse” on Triin Ruumeti esimene täispikk linateos, filmi peaosades mängivad Hendrik Toompere Jr ja Juhan Ulfsak.
The choice of music was appropriate, but such an inclusion of singing scenes?
