"Life consists of the gifted and those who serve"(the 25th Seattle International Film Festival official program). The film nostalgically shows a middle-aged lady (Helena)'s memory of her relationship with her twin sister, Irene, who was a star in a circus. Their extraordinary love led them to a fatal separation, when Helena found out that Irene stole her only skill 'fire-eating'. It's a memory of remorse. The stunning images and repeated symbological scenes made an emotionally powerful film.

This is definitely one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. It feels like everything is just right in this film, acting, photography and directing are all great. While watching it I felt that I could just sit in the movie theathre and watch it for days, the pictures followed one another so naturally... hard to explain! It`s probably easy to notice that I really love this film and can recommend it to everyone. But still, I am not sure if I want to see "Tulennielijä" again because watching it was such a marvellous experience that I`m a bit afraid that it would be spoiled-especially if I had to watch it from a tiny TV-screen.
