“OK. I must admit: I have not seen to many Finnish movies. But the few that I have seen has been either really boring or, if it is a comedy, really boring.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut this one. WOW! Nothing short of stunning, with great performances all over. Not just from Peter Franzén but also from the rest of the crew, the Nazi fellows not the least. Jasper Pääkkönen (try saying that name really fast ten times) playing the brother in the film is equally good.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie has a message. But it is not made u0026quot;down your throatu0026quot;. Just as the Nazis in the movie are acting stupid, so is the black father and the gypsies. So lots of people with different colored skin and different backgrounds, acting stupid. Not just one part. As often in the real world.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMakes me wonder if there are more good Finnish movies. At least this one gives me a certain hope that there might be. Or at least some to come.”
