Sisu
classified 15 SPlease note: This was screened in June 2023
An outrageously entertaining Finnish fantasy of WWII payback from director Jalmari Helander (Rare Exports).
Deep in the wilderness of Lapland, Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila) is searching for gold. After he stumbles upon a Nazi patrol, a breathtaking and gold-hungry chase through the destroyed and mined landscape begins.
While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word “sisu”, this legendary ex-commando becomes an embodiment of the term: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds. No matter what the Nazis throw at him, this solo warrior will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back – even if it means killing every last Nazi in his path.
