High art - not only how to chose who'll be the first after 4 years
10 November 2012
Also how to "teach your children well" and how to chose a place to do that.

Most of what I could say about this brilliant movie is written here already, thank you for that, you who share your views and feelings and thoughts! One of the most astonishing perceptions I made is how simple it is to make visible what often seems to be only the fabric on which a story is told. It's one of the best "sex films" I ever saw. It smells, it bristles of the taste of two men and one woman, plain, honestly. I think that this is the reason why it does all fit.

The end reminds me of Tarkowskis ending of "Stalker". And of the line "did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage" by Pink Floyd. Or "If you love somebody - set them free". To set children free is not difficult when you are able to be yourself.

After this I was watching "The Kautokeino Rebellion" just to see Anni-Kristiina Juuso again. And again I felt her radiance, her anima, through the thickest costumes... I wish I had access to something like that when I was a child.
