So, 'Mazās kaislības' is this intriguing 1991 Latvian film that really captures the essence of its time. The tone is quite somber, reflecting the societal shifts happening in Latvia post-independence. The pacing can feel a bit languid at times, which actually adds to the overall atmosphere of contemplation and introspection. The performances are subtle, yet powerful, with a rawness that feels authentic and unrefined—definitely not your typical polished drama. You can sense the cultural weight behind the scenes, and there's a real focus on interpersonal relationships and emotional struggles. It’s distinct in how it weaves the personal with the political, reflecting a national identity in flux. Quite the gem for anyone interested in lesser-known European cinema.
