I found the caracteristics very shallow except for Mikko (the priest), who did quite a good job except for his language. I don't think any priest would use curse words like he did.
The woman seemed to be just a sex addict. I didn't find any deeper interaction between the caracters, just addictive sex.
I liked the relaxed dialogues, Aku Hirviniemi was excellent.
There was not really a proper story or anything deeper. The movie had lots of glanses given between the wife and the guest and even though I normally love just slow camera scenes, in this one it didn't work.
Yet I give 5 stars since I loved the surroundings, the building, the dialogs and Aku Hirviniemi.
The wife and the guest on the contrary weren't credible at all...

So in modern day diverse dialog if a man does this to his wife, he is going to be called many unpleasant names..
But, If a woman does this, well, a girl needs what she needs. More power to her. You go girl you go!
See the double standard here?
And I really tried to find a fault in her husband but couldn't really.
So, what are we advocating here in the name of women empowerment and other slogans we hear nowadays? Classic marriage is so ancient? Being faithful to your spouse is so passé ? Let's drop all people and their culture in blender and make a new mix of brave new generation?
I can only hope that some of crazy trends and ideas we're witnessing today eventually simmers down and fade away, like 70's hippies and the like .

I often wonder why people bother leaving a review, maybe folk have to much time on their hands...A good example is the first review here...To quote. ''I had no foggiest idea what this piece was actually all about''. Yet still felt obliged to give three stars. Maybe it was genius, but because you don't know, it's rubbish. Well it's not. It's an art movie made with total skill and direction. It empowers women without degrading men. It moves at the perfect pace and, of course those Finns know how to do dark, minimal dialogue, beauty in the location. Inka Kallén is spectacular. But no surprise as she stole the show in All the sins. Aku Louhimies ,YES, I forgive you for rig45, is back on form...thank you for making movies like this. I'm glad Marvel fans don't get it.
3 stars: 1. Hirviniemi is able to throw some good lines and able to squeeze something out of his character. 2. Some really nice shooting and scenery. 3. After movie you can talk with your friend how lame the movies actually was.
The movie offers very very little. I had no foggiest idea what this piece was actually all about. Perhaps the idea was that people just want to invoke some drama when there's a change.

Beautiful landscape surrounds this very current movie and topic on female debating with issues: love, lust, wants and needs. Who am I and with whom?
Classical music adds depth and intensity to the story with the big question: am I happy? How to be happy?
Relevant reflection piece for anyone in a relationship or not in one. Worth seeing for the nature alone.
