Enesekuvandeist ja maailmapildist Priit Pärna filmides "Kolmnurk" ja "Hotell E"
Reflections of Self and Surrounding Circumstances in Priit Pärn's Films The Triangle and Hotel E

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses two films by the famous Estonian drawn animation auteur Priit Pärn: The Triangle (Kolmnurk, 1982) and Hotel E (Hotell E, 1992). The first dissects typical Soviet gender roles within intimate relationships, seen from an ironic, decidedly postmodern angle. The other is a reflection of the shock and identity crisis brought about by the fall of the Iron Curtain. By comparing the two, I am trying to point out the enormity of the paradigmatic shift reflected in them; the complete change of perspective that arrives with the acknowledgement of the new, postsocialist situation.
