I'm gonna do a little topic bumping here. Are movies in theatres subtitled or dubbed? I'd like to go see Star Trek this evening, but of course it can't be dubbed :).

They're subs...

Kids stuff is often dubbed but they also show it in the original language...A lot of Finns prefer the subs, thank god for us. :D

I don't think that's a Finnish film really - wasn't it some international collaboration?

No, it was a Finnish one. The most expensive film ever made in Finland (if I remember right).

I have enjoyed all of the Aki Kaurismaki movies I have seen especially 'Drifting Clouds' and 'The Man Without A Past'. Also was very impressed by the incredibly powerful 'Paha Maa/Frozen Land' and liked the biopic of ski-jumper Matti Nykanen's rise and fall, 'Matti'.

Could any Finnish members recommend any other Suomi productions I should seek out?? :roll:

Kiitos :)
I'm not Finnish, but I think anyone interested in Finnish cinema might enjoy the films of Teuvo Tulio, who, from what I've read, is considered one of the pioneers of Finnish cinema. I've only seen the four made between 1938 and 1946 that made the rounds at some US university and art house film series this last spring and really enjoyed them. http://www.bam.org/view.aspx?pid=663

Tulio has been cited by Aki Kuarismaki as being one of his idols.

Wow ! ! Nice topic ! !
I like Finnish Cinema ! !
Personally i thought all the movies mentioned above apart from the Star wreck and Kaurismäki movies were pretty weak.

Although I did vow to never respond to any of the nonesense you write....

Sales – Finland
Animated Niko makes its way to The Weinstein Co
The European animated feature film Niko & the Way to the Stars [trailer], co-directed by Finland’s Kari Juusonen and Denmark’s Michael Hegner, has just been pre-sold by Telepool to The Weinstein Company for all English-language territories and Latin America.........

Based on an original story that Tuomainen co-wrote with Marteinn Thorisson.....The €6.1m film is produced by Tuomainen and fellow Finn Pettri Pasanen (Anima Vitae) in co-production with A Film (Denmark), Ulysses (Germany) and Magma Films (Ireland)."

http://cineuropa.org/newsdetail.aspx?la ... ntID=81257

"By far the largest Finnish movie production is produced by two Finnish production companies Anima Vitae and Cinemaker. Co-producers for Niko and The Way to the Stars are A. Film from Denmark, Magma Films from Ireland and Ulysses GmbH from Germany. The crew consists of many European animation professionals. Among the team there are both Cannes-winners and Oscar-nominees. The movie will premiere on 10.10.2008."

Hello,
I would like to ask about the name of song from the movie "Talvisota" (Pekka Parikkas, 1989).
Finnish infantry soldiers sing it when they leave a town during the night. It is about 22-23 minute of this movie.
Thanks in advance.

Try searching for the song titles mentioned here, here and here on YouTube (or maybe in Spotify).
