Review by Amanda Jatniece, BalticShop.com:
"Latvia: The Country Video is a slick 30-minute video meant to introduce the viewer to one of the lesser known countries of Europe. It takes you on a trip that begins at Bauska Castle and Jaunmokas Manor, continues through the Ethnographic Museum, Vidzeme highlands, Jelgava and Rundāle Palaces, the Latgale lake district, Gauja National Park, Turaida, Sigulda, Jūrmala and the sea coast, and ends with a whilwind tour of the Rīga Old Town.

The video states that Latvia is a country of variety, but no extremes; that it has hills, but no mountains. From the video one could also surmise that Latvia is a country of summer, but no winter. Except for a few short frames showing the bobsled run and skiing in Sigulda, the whole film is shot in summer and sunshine. There is no hint of the rain and cloudy days that are so common, nor of the cold and dreary autumns and winters, when daylight gets reduced to a mere 6 or so hours, nor of the dirty slush and smelly exhaust of the big city Rīga. Likewise, no one likes to see the ugly Soviet era buildings, either, but they�re hard to miss if you actually visit Latvia! In other words, the video doesn�t show much of everyday life.

Rather, the video gives a very idyllic and immaculate image of Latvia, concentrating on picturesque rural areas and small towns, such as Cēsis and Kuldīga. This makes for a truly beautiful film, especially when professionally mastered, as is this video.
