il
film è ambientato durante la guerra civile finlandese, nel 1918, che fece
almeno 40000 morti (qui).
non
si tratta di un campo di concentramento, ma quasi.
l’odioso
comandante fa una scommessa con degli attori di teatro, soprattutto con
Parikka, o faranno riderei tedeschi in visita, o la morte sarà sicura.
un
film sconosciuto che merita.
secondo me Jerry Lewis l’avrebbe apprezzato.
buona visione - Ismaele
In a detention camp in 1918, a group of Finish
actors are sentenced to death. When an important German general arrives, the
camp’s vicious commandant forges out a cruel plan: The prisoners have to
perform a play - and if they can make the visiting general laugh, they will be
spared. Due to the brutal conditions within the camp, this goal seems to be
impossible to reach. But after some time, even the commandant’s wife starts to
sympathise with the prisoners, watching them rehearsing dressed up in woman’s
clothes.
A group of prisoners sentenced to death strive to
put together a comical theater play. Their intention is to entertain the guards
and the commander of the German troops, who is visiting the jail —if they
succeed, they won’t be executed. The cast is leaded by Toivo Paikka, once
considered the funniest man in Finland. With dark humor and grotesque situations,
the film shows mankind in a comical light.
