Rukajärven tie (Ambush)
1999
**
Director: Olli Saarela
Cast: Peter Franzén, Irina Björklund, Kari Heiskanen, Taisto Reimaluoto
A love drama about a couple who are torn apart by war. Or, if you will, a war film that is interrupted by romantic interludes. Either way, this is a long, dull and dreary watch. The story is implausible more than once and the supporting characters are never properly fleshed out. Freely adapted from Antti Tuuri's book.
