Reccomend Finnish films please...


Can anybody please reccomend a really good Finnish movie(s) for me. Anything that's good, easy to find (like on Netflix) and speaks in Finnish, would be wonderful. I'd really appreciate it, thank you.

About as good as Mies vailla menneisyyttä IMO. Has Michael Badalucco playing a chef. Nice quirky comedy.

"Muukalainen" ("The Visitor", 2008) by J-P Valkeapää.

The best Finnish film is "Kahdeksan surmanluotia" ("Eight Deadly Shots") by Mikko Niskanen, but there is no English subtitles to it.

My pick would be "Arvottomat" by Mika Kaurismäki, screenplay by Aki Kaurismaki. Very good, but yet not so popular movie check it out - myös suomalaiset!

Rare Exports, Tulitikkutehtaan tyttö and everything from Dome Karukoski, especially Tummien perhosten koti.

I don't know exactly what your tastes are but I recommend the ones done by Antti-Jussi Annilla. Whatever your thoughts are they'll be interesting to watch.
