Personal Quote:
I would like to explain the violence in this film. Because it makes me uncomfortable. The problem is this story had to start with violence. So I wanted to at least make it honest. Because if people want to see violence looking good, there is something wrong with their heads. So I make it look as it really is, fast and ugly. This is my rule and my explanation. See more »Trivia:
Although being nominated for Mies vailla menneisyyttä (2002), he refused to attend the The 75th Annual Academy Awards (2003), noting he didn't feel like partying in a nation that is currently in a state of war (2003). See more »Trademark:
Most of the Finnish dialog in his films is hypercorrect literary language, which is rarely spoken in real life. See more »Star Sign:
