6/10
Odyssey Lapland.
12 June 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Before watching what was expected to be a dull UK General Election,I decided to watch an easy-going movie. Taking a look at DVDs a pal recently got,I spotted a Finnish Comedy! This led to me skiing down to Lapland.

The plot:

Sick of seeing Janne just stay in bed, Inari gives him orders to go and buy a digital TV box. Seeing her request gets ignored again, Inari tells Janne that if he does not get a box,she will leave him. Stumbling outside,Janne gathers his mates and goes in search of the Lapland digital box.

View on the film:

Whilst not being set in the holiday season,director Dome Karukoski & cinematographer Pini Hellstedt still cast a Christmassy atmosphere,with the lads going in search for a digital box over tracking shots of snow covered trees and frosty breath. Keeping the Sex Comedy aspect light and playful, Karukoski reveals an eyeful of skin,but keeps it related to the lads quest. Shoving Janne off his bed to finally enter the outside world,the screenplay by Pekko Pesonen leaps between a mix of Sex Comedy and gross farce,as Janne goes on a Lapland Odyssey.
