70 ist auch nur eine Zahl

The Finnish icon Hannele Lauri oozes all the charm and energy that she's ever had. Her character steps into the shoes of a famous entertainer who is suggested to adapt the tactics of today's younger artists. Thus meaning, publish songs about wrinkles in her face. Writer director Johanna Vuoksenmaa steers her baby into pregnancy substitute comedy waters, using high quality cameos and cleverly letting her camera say what words couldn't. The production value peeks during the characters' awkward impregnation attempts. Here the great movie you mostly just see between the lines blooms up fully. Big chunks of it is overshadowed by a hostile verbal delivery tone.
