False Trail (2011)

Beautiful piece of Nordic nature and pure excitement

[9/10 · 28 October 2011]

Jägarna 2 was shown as preview at Tampere, Finland this week. Preview was arranged as blind performance. No one in the audience knew what to expect.

The movie by Kjell Sundvall was completely success. The unusual kind of murder mystery surprised with its smooth and natural progress of storyline.

I was shocked by extremely magnificent actor work. Roles suited seamlessly.

To say something constructive I have to mention the use of extraordinary evil. After a set of plot twists killer's character has grown so abundantly wicked that it bugged me at the end of the film.

Not meant to say last, backgrounds of the film were also pleasant to watch. The Nordic nature is always good for the movie.

Le Havre (2011)

Aki did it again, funny and very watchable film about serious case

[9/10 · 19 June 2011]

First of all, I must say that I was greatly surprised yesterday at Sodankylä. I was staff member at Midnight Sun Film Festival in Sodankylä, Finland. The Large Tent was more than sold out, there were more than eight hundred people inside. Tent capacity was designed for 700 spectators.

Mr. Kaurismäki itself was there speaking to the audience and receiving questions. Applause was huge.

Actually I wasn't expecting anything. I haven't seen much A. Kaurismäki's films but I had heard about them a lot. I didn't even know that it was film's premiere. Everybody else knew, I'm sure.

Le Havre was humorous story about immigrating and people's fancy relationships. I laughed so much that evening. The experience was breath-taking. Very serious problem was handled so well in the movie. I love it.
