Average finnish war drama with same spices and clichésThis is just another
finnish war drama which are made every year with the same clichès and
spices. The package is just a bit different every time. I wonder when
they'd stop supporting patriotic films and put the focus on different
kind of films that are completely absent in Finnish cinema. There's so
much talent that gets wasted if they make the same stuff over and over
again.
Knowing the director's background in music videos, it
doesn't really surprise that the film seems like a two hour long
commercial music video rather than a film about love and war. The
problem is that it doesn't touch at all when it should. Character
development is non-existent and characters are left vague. All the
atrocities are bypassed quite swiftly just as if nothing bad had ever
happened. The main character is pregnant but the development of
pregnancy is not shown at all. As a viewer i was left with a role of an
observer. I was supposed to just admire the scenery.
The film is
technically perfect but that's all there is to it. The sex scenes are
actually so amusing and lack a good taste so much so that i think it
will never get an international release.
To sum it up it's an
average finnish war drama from a capable director who gave us Puhdistus
some years earlier. It remains as his best film in my opinion. Finnish
audiences who've seen war films over and over again might find this film
quite tiring. I find Puhdistus more awarding to watch than this.
