Frozen Land

Set in motion by the printing of a forged 500 euro note, the film bounces between the lives of a pair of young computer hackers, a depressed policewoman, a mullet-haired car thief and a vacuum salesman and recovering alcoholic, who falls off the wagon with a vengeance.

    Grim with a grin

    Imagine the most depressing winter you will never experience: grey instead of white, no snowfights and certainly no wonderlands. This is the Finland as portrayed by 'Frozen Land'. With no apologies, this film follows a bunch of people whose lives are oddly linked to each others' with results beyond anyone's nightmares. Yes, most characters are flawed in the way that only celluloid characters can - completely annoying and frustrating to watch, yet for some reason you wish for their luck to turn miraculously. With some randomly placed humour and a cast that groups together Finland's somewhat mainstream faces, Frozen Land offers a glimpse of the Finnish mentality that despite its depressing downward spirals manages to restore some faith in humanity. More so than Kaurismäki, to say the least.
