Manic Expression

With the first episode of Tales from the North all the old episodes from this show are now posted on Manic Expression so the following ones will be brand new videos. Finland's first submission to compete from the Academy Award for Best Foregin Language Film this 1973 movie tells about a young woman from Lapland discovering her sexuality and living in harsh environment. This video contains some risque content like nudity, animal killing and foul language so it may be slightly not safe for work (but in case your boss notices you watching this just tell it's art).

Hi HedonisticActor. Well....THAT certainly was a cheerful film, huh? The cinematography was really good(at least in the scenes shown) you really get the idea that it's miserably cold and harsh in this village that leads such a hard existence. I could almost see Topol in his Tevye costume pushing a milk cart through it while having a conversation with God, but I digress......I liked the handheld shots of you reviewing this while walking through the woods, and your commentary was great, my friend. I look forward to your next one. Peace.

The movie looks like it was an attempt to just be a character study, but so lacked in structure that it was hard to get heavily invested with the characters. Good work
