This cinematic rural poem is a beautiful adaptation of a novel by F.E. Sillanpää, to date Finland's only Nobel Laureate in Literature, about a bright Finnish summer night. Directed by the masterful Valentin Vaala, the sheer beauty of this film is also in part due to Eino Heino's camerawork and Taneli Kuusisto's score.
A standout performance from the cast comes from Martti Katajisto, who plays an intense young log driver, whose sexual identity could only be referenced indirectly in 1940's Finland.
