Nousukausi

The theme of this film resolves around the fact that nowadays you can buy packaged "adventure" holidays for any part of the world, to deep down Amazonia or even to the North Pole, that is to say if you have the money. But what happens "when you have done it all", you will want something else, something scary with a taste of the real stuff and real risk. This is where the post modern holiday enters, why not go someplace really dangerous, two weeks in a country torn by civil war for instance. This is not too far fetched in fact I saw an advert on a newspaper offering a different holiday where you rescue crocodiles. The fact that crocodiles live in unhealthy places and tend to see you as a snack didn't seem to be a problem but on top of you had to pay to participate and these "holidays" although advertised by a charity were far from cheap. So an excellent film, a surprise that Hollywood didn't make a remake out of it but that is all the better as they could very likely mess it up, a bad surprise is that this film is so little know, the copy we saw was subtitled and hard to find.

Tiina Lymi and Petteri Summanen does great acting here, if you like humor this is some of the best from Finland. Underestimated comedy that has also lots of real things about society in Europe, how can things go wrong even if it should be easy to get up from grave.

Actually you need to have some sort of brains to understand the humor of the movie, its not just some simple crappy story with good laughs, its deep and funny, very enjoyable.

DVD also have good music video from the band Egotrippi. Nice lyrics and though.

I truly love this kinda films, I'm on information technology business and so on, I get the jokes and everything about the film.

Great acting, directing, the script all together all magnificent, this is truly an original movie, no other like this. Also soundtrack is brilliantly put together for the movie.

Thats only my opinion and hopefully you'll enjoy the film :) I don't really can get lot's of minuses, maybe not so international movie but still great. If you are Finnish and like humor you've gotta see this one.

9/10

The performance is nice by both lead characters. story plot is also seem nice and new. but it gets kinda little stupid in the end. i really wished that idea of wife being adulterous should not be part of plot.

------------------------------------------spoilers------------------------------

So the story is about a married couple (not very rich) who want to have vacation or spice the marriage by going to experience as a poor family. but they got conned by their agent.

The story so far is very good, but the idea of the wife having an affair ? yeh she starts to like that young stud , when she went to his apartment for food , there she likes his kitchen and looks . and even she couldn't resists. so she felt ONLY regret because she got caught. and then she got pregnant too. but in the end both reconcile in the end. and got back their home.

This movie is so mild! I tried not to expect anything greater from this film, but still it was a big disappointment. The basic idea of the story is interesting and potential. This could have been so much better. The characters are really simple, no depth at all. It's a shame that previously talented performers Tiina Lymi and Petteri Summanen didn't make the already poor characters any better. The director just don't get the watcher emotionally involved at all with this piece of cr*p.

And the the chase sequence at the end of the movie. That's hideous!!!

Why there had to be so stupid and old solution for that situation?

It's too much used element with even more terrible way of filming it. OH NO!

I have really enjoyed myself lately the new Finnish movies as they get better and better! Nousukausi is a brilliant movie, made of a fresh and new idea. It is not only a comedy, even though it gave me huge laughs during the viewing. It is also a bit of a drama, focusing on the reality of a relationship of a two rich and talented young people, whose life is in every aspect in order -or is it?

The movie focuses cleverly on the today's values in the society, and how they affect on young people. It shows us with the means of comedy how it is like when everything you have gained and relied on is taken away from you and suddenly you have to survive without the help from the surrounding society. And in this Nousukausi succeeds very well, making it very enjoyable watching!

Definitely an enjoyable movie experience in Finnish movies!
