Still, I do like this film more than I don't, narration and all. I just find it annoying that the parts that I perceive to be uninspired (plus the one scene with some very dodgy consent) do bring down what I would otherwise consider to be internationally competitive movie from this time period.

Unfortunately, I do think that the first 5 and the last 30 minutes are the most interesting parts of the film, and that if the energy had been similar to those the entire time the fact that the narrative is mostly about mundane countryside relationship drama wouldn't have lost me quite as much.

The acting was still a bit overblown, but it did work for me in some ways.
The main character, Viktor, being theatrical while trying to be sophisticated despite being obviously drunk off his ass the whole runtime felt appropriate for the type of character that he was revealed to be by the end.

Very pleasantly surprised by this. The film immediately broke the low expectations that I had from all the overacted dramas and the ok-at-best comedies that usually represented older Finnish films on our public broadcasting channels.
There was some classy directing thorough the whole thing.

The first film that I started this journey off with was The Harvest Month (Elokuu, 1957), by Matti Kassila.
Started off with this because I've never seen any films by Kassila, despite him having directed a very famous detective series over here.
Also filled out the gap I had between 1956 and 1958.

I do sometimes think about the fact that the way the current Light Novel title meta is means that that publishing culture has gone full loop and reached the 18th century British serial novels.
Except that they'd still be considered short in comparison.

Also right, forgot to post this yesterday despite it being the GBF day, but feel free to add me if you want.
Though let it be known that I don't have the baller meta summons like Lucifer.

Was rummaging through my image edit folders for something that'd make my profile look slightly less empty and came across this one.
I have no clue as to what in our Kamen Rider Build watch group caused me to make it, but I guess it WOULD be something he'd wear.
