TALI-IHANTALA is a Finnish-Swedish-Estonian film which tries to show the summer 0f 1944 episode when Finnish armies successfully fought Soviet ofensive in Suomi, OK, why not. No, it didn't land well. The film is a very dry, very prosaic, very boring, almost to the level of fake documentary style effort which leaves us bored, yawining and wanting. There are no real deep characters, no real dramas, no decent analysis of the conflict, It's as we're watching some sort of a truly amateur school project about war. There are explosions, tanks, guns and lots of peet smoke. But, beyond this, almost no real core left.
Could be watched and then discarded.
