Great historical piece


This is how it must have been in earlier centuries when a civilized and learned man from Western Europe travelled to some backward region (Lithuania, in this film) with the aim of collecting etnographic material. He meets the local upper class and stays in their mansion, but slowly it becomes obvious that the local upper class is not quite the same as the cultural elite of big cities. The local upper class seems to be under the influence of the local peasant customs and superstitions. The local customs are what our traveller is interested in, but these customs also allow for some rather creepy horror stuff. Interesting topic and well made film.

Where did you see it? I bought a poster of it that is awesome but haven't seen the film.
