Lötjönen and Törrönen

A movie of making a movie. A Finnish comedy produced in 1969 put together by a team that set the tone for Finnish humour for few decades straight. They weren't known for overly intellectual or challenging comedy, critics hated them for that, but the simple folk of Finland loved 'em to death. Pohjantähteet is easily one of their greatest efforts yet, sadly, it's one of the least known ones.

One-stroke deficit

Inspired by the real events of t he biggest heist of all time on Danish soil. But the filmmakers have certainly taken it easy with the facts...
