Fuck Off! Images from Finland
Jörn DonnerCast
Jörn Donner Irmeli Loikala Jussi Niininen Einari Meriläinen Martti Kärkkäinen Reijo Rynö
Plot
F*** Off! shows no false respect towards the authorities in its impudent and candid reportage of the developing country/welfare state Finland. It is a cinematic parallel to Donner's New Book of Our Land (1967).
Sinekatalog’s take
A cheeky, irreverent reportage on a welfare state still finding its feet, showing little deference to those in charge. It reads as a provocation as much as a portrait. Audiences interested in political documentary and Nordic social history will find it bracing.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
