This is such crap.
Aku Louhimies is by far the most talented director in Finland. At least of the younger generation. I hadn't much expectations on this movie since it didn't seem to be as interesting as Louhimies earlier production. Still this was a huge disappointment.
One big problem with Louhimies is his casting. He goes on with the same stars on and on and personally I'm bored with most of them, especially Samuli Edelmann, Laura Malmivaara (wife of the director) and Mikko Kouki. Not very satisfied seeing Matti Ristinen and Matleena Kuusniemi either. So it could be time to find a new acting team.
The story is about a priest, his relationship to his wife and ambitions in his career. My tolerance broke down in the first half hour which to me mostly included running from one place to another. In between the running there was a lot of unnecessary nudity and drinking.
It is somehow difficult to understand how an important director like Louhimies hasn't realized that the story sucks. When I saw the movie I couldn't avoid thinking, that he must have had thoughts about making a mistake.
We can only forgive him for his mistake and hope he'll achieve his normal standard again soon.
