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.

Nothing wrong with peace and respite

This was pretty damn awesome in its own way. A wildly brutal but confusingly entertaining survival film about people who can't get alon...
