Bilgi :Directed by Finland's Jarmo Lampela, this film tells six stories which all take place in a small town in central Finland during a sonic boom. These six storylines intersect at the shared experience of the sonic boom and each vignette combines to show the frailties, disappointments and triumphs of humanity. There's Anni (Sanna Hietala), a single mother who tries to drown herself and her baby in the local river. There's also Esa, a chronically broke musician who attends his father's 60th in order to get some cash; Leena, a waitress floating high on love who wants to play Cupid and match up all her co-workers; Ilpo, who comes home early from work only to face the ruin of his marriage; and an elderly couple who are battling the hospital in order that the terminally ill husband can die at home in peace and with dignity. This film was Finland's entry for Best Foreign Film at the 2001 Academy Awards. - The Finnish version of Robert Altman's "Short Cuts": the episodes present a kaleidoscope of the eternal events, problems and emotions of human life: joy and love, deception and disillusionment, hopelessness and death. Compared with Altman's classic, this movie is perhaps less polished, but it is definitely a great piece of art.
