Having seen November and Kratt I was aware that there is an Estonian film industry, but until The Sixth Secret came my way I wasn’t aware of writer/director/actor/ Mart Sander (Eerie Fairy Tales, Behind the Random Denominator) and his prolific output. After seeing this I’m surprised his films haven’t gotten more notice. The Sixth Secret opens sometime in the 1920s as a pair of London police officers attend to a car accident apparently caused by an escaped lion named Justice. Without explanation it then shifts to a mansion where a group of strangers, including Lady X (Eha Urbsalu, Men in Black 3, The Point of Betrayal), Alfred Arnheim (Gregory Defleur, Wolf Game), and Edwin Bonpree (Ben Walton-Jones, The Kennedy Incident) have been gathered for a reading by noted psychic Madame Orlofsky (Triin Lellep, Duubel 13, The Prince). More of the guests straggle in and they are an odd assortment, including, much to Lady x’s disgust a working-class couple, Mr. (Jim Sebastian Sharman, Dawn of War) and Mrs. Bramley (Michelle Saarenoja-Hayes, The Grump). There’s also, to everyone’s dismay, the uninvited and overly aggressive Worseley (Max Marcq, The Bike Thief, When the West is Done with You). At the stroke of midnight, Madame Orlofsky descends the stairs and announces that three secrets are about to be revealed. As we know from the title, much more than that that will be revealed. <ahref="https://www.voicesfromthebalcony.com/2022/07/05/the-sixth-secret-2022-review/">Read The Full Review On Voices From The Balcony</a>
