“A caricature is not funny. It is either metaphorical or completely absurd,” says Estonian filmmaker Priit Pärn. And he certainly knows a thing or two about the absurd. He has spent the last 30 years poking fun at human weakness and social injustice, most recently in his feature-length spy thriller “Frank & Wendy” (NFL 2005). His drawings, illustrations and films are grotesque, wicked, subversive – and hilarious. In this lively portrait, director Hardi Volmer showcases Pärn’s career against the backdrop of Estonian history. Born in Tallinn in 1946, Pärn was confronted from childhood with the absurdities of the Soviet system, which provided abundant material for his caricatures in the 1960s and for his films from 1977 onwards. Since Estonian independence, this dyed-in-the-wool non-conformist has become an internationally renowned ambassador for his country. He has taught at many colleges and universities throughout Europe and has been a lasting influence on young artists in many countries.
