English This is a proper Finnish movie. Weird, wacky and crazy with everything that entails. On top of that, the people in Finland are unable to communicate their emotions and so it sometimes happens that the crazy chick who doesn’t really speak all of the sudden pulls over in the middle of the road and starts telling a girl she’d barely ever talked to a bunch of stuff and then she just leaves. Anyways, the landscape was really great. I don’t think you get views from mountains anywhere else in Finland. I also liked the pitch-black humor used in the film. Some of the scenes were a bit too much, but some were quite entertaining. Pretty much half and half. ()
