A very good Finnish movie, 28 May 2000
10/10
Author: palaste from Helsinki, Finland

I don't like all Finnish movies, but I like this one. This movie isn't a modern avant-garde "all life is crap" movie like some ("Pitkä kuuma kesä" etc.) but a genuine, smooth story which just flows along. The main characters (Tapio Rautavaara and Repe Helismaa) looked and acted very much like the real people they're based on, even though I am too young to have seen them in real life. The story was good, mainly because it was possible to do the entire movie without any real violence. If you are a Finn, or otherwise like Finnish movies, you can't go wrong with this one.
