Kun taivas putoaa... is a film from 1972 directed by Risto Jarva, telling stories about world of press. If and when the Actors drink booze at the very beginning of the movie, then it can be believed that the movie will be looking for something different.
At the beginning of the film, the viewer enters the story, which is like a diary, or at least the form of narration gives it the atmosphere at the beginning. Life is a lot of work, and it shows in the film. The role of work as part of everyday life. As a viewer, I sensed that the film's style is somewhere between fiction and documentary. I can't tell which one it is, and that bothers me a little. Maybe I'm thinking too much, maybe I should just let the story take me?
The world familiar to many of us comes right in front of us in the film, when the main character talks to the masseuse about life's big questions. The masseuse can be told things that are difficult to tell the viewer with the help of a story. I think the method is well used and effective.
The world of the film is like a snapshot of time and a perception as a part of Helsinki. The street scene and the streets have been immortalized and it makes me as a viewer think about the past times in Helsinki. Sometimes I still wonder if the narrator is the same person as the main character. Or are they two separate persons. I feel like I don't really understand, but maybe that's the point of this movie.
In this Finnish film, the role of the narrator is memorable, but somehow the narration itself slows down at the halfway point. It bothers me a bit towards the end of the movie. This work has many elements of an art film. Watching it is a different experience than a traditional fiction film. I think there is something secretive, mysterious, and waiting here. The main character looks at the camera in a few pictures, and that in itself is a special effect. I think the film has been made in a small budget way, but the resources have been well utilized. The soundscapes are interesting and different, which also make the plot more tense. Fascinating atmosphere of an old Finnish film!
