A disconsolate tomorrow awaits outside

A film about Dingo, one of the most significant bands in Finnish music history and their frontman Pertti "Nipa" Neumann. The Finnish could not avoid them in the eighties. They were loved and hated. Their absolute peak only lasted a couple of years, then the decline began and it was steep as hell. Mari Rantasila's film is about their highlight years and their unyielding lead singer and songwriter. A nice portrait of the time, even excellent in its authencity and imagery, but things were handled too quickly and in a roundabout way.
