Estonian director Veiko Ounpuu challenges the global economic order with his surrealist Temptation of St. Tony.

Theodore Schwinke, Transitions Online
The Temptation of St. Tony is the third feature from Estonian director Veiko Ounpuu.

Ounpuu's previous film, Autumn Ball, won the Venice Horizons Award at the Venice Film Festival in 2007.
