About this item
Review
The contrast between Finland's frigid birch forests and the open expanse of the Swedish coast, captured in Jarkko T. Laine's striking camerawork, is a key element of the film's quiet power, but composer Tuomas Kantelinen tugs too hard at heartstrings. --Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter
Submitted by Country - BEST FOREIGN FILM, Academy Awards --Film Movement
Product Description
During World War II, more than 70,000 Finnish children were evacuated to neutral Sweden to avoid the conflict. Mother of Mine, the latest from the award-winning Klaus Haro (Elina), tackles that painful patch of history in a tale of 9-year-old Eero, a child who increasingly feels abandoned by his biological Finnish mother and yet not attached to his Swedish surrogate mom. When Eero is returned to Finland, his confusion intensifies. Winner - Palm Springs Int'l Film Festival. Official Selection - Seattle and Toronto Film Festivals. In Finnish and Swedish with English subtitles.
