Latvian Movie Guide - Lāčplēsis (Bearslayer) (1930)
Sometimes understanding foreign movies can be tough. For one, they speak a different language. This is usually solved by translation. But a translation can only do so much. There are other monsters waiting for you in the dark. They are called culture and history. This is the part that requires investigation, but sometimes it can be just too arduous of a task to keep digging up Wikipedia articles. Some movies can be packed with facts of history and culture like the parks of Riga on the first nice summer day. However, by giving up you can lose an ocean tanker of information. We can’t risk that. That’s why the Latvian Movie Guide comes in and saves the day!
