PERKELE! KUVIA SOUMESTA
Finnland 1971 – Director: Jörn Donner – Original language: finnisch – Subtitles: English – Length: 104 min.
This film, which was made for theatrical distribution, was censored in 1971 and could not be shown in its uncensored version until 1991. It gives an easy-going, unashamed and versatile picture of Finland thirty years ago, in a period of migration from the country to towns, from the poor Finnish countryside to rich Sweden.
"Making this film is the biggest madness of our carriers, but I am not sorry for it one moment, because you probably will not get a more versatile image of the Finnish people. And if the film is crazy in a way, it is the Finnish people, who are to blame."
Jörn Donner, 1971
