The Year Before the War Trailers

Stylized as silent cinema, the film connects political and philosophical extremes of 1913 in a story of a young man participating at the creation of a new world. This mysterious adventurer, who was known as Peter the Lett, gets involved in a tragicomic and surreal race from a routine clerk job and a romantic passion in Riga to preparation of the world revolution in Vienna, psychoanalysis at Freud’s salon and seduction of Mata Hari in Paris.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
