The world of cheat, 22 April 2006
9/10
Author: MadFish from finland

Mika Waltari's influence on Finnish film can be seen almost as big as Väinö Linna's. When Linna's huge novels were translated to great spectacles, Waltari's brilliant stories got their form in a smaller, but definitely not in any worse, result.

In the beginning one can see a man walking a dog. The man is of course the writer of this movie and that's where Vaala makes us realize how he will be very faithful to his good friend's writing - and good as that! So the film fallows very much the original script and is very much a satire from Waltari more than other creators. "Omena putoaa" criticizes very smartly the world where everyone cheats everyone and morality won't be found nowhere but from books. But that's just the way it works today, so what?
