(Pri)sons (2024)

Bloodcircus

I had to create an account on imbd because I wanted to come and talk about the awesomeness of this movie.

I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll tell you why I fell in love with this movie.

I went to Finland for work and after a long day of meeting in Helsinki, I went to eat and then went to the cinema.

(Pri)sons was the only interesting film on offer at the moment, so I thought that a Finnish film might open up a bit about the behavior of Finns.

How wrong I was.

The bloodcircus started after the initial character introductions. The gore was brutal and beautiful at the same time.

The filming was wonderful and the Finnish actors were really good, Ilka Koivula and Ari Savonen were really memorable.

Director Esa Jusilla leads the film with certainty, considering that he has not directed other works that would be in the cinema. He also edited the film and did almost everything himself. I read a few interviews after the film, where Jusilla talks about her work on the film. Btw Peter Jackson did the same with Bad Taste.

I also watched Jusilla's earlier film on YouTube "They Rest In the North" which was also really atmospheric and his handprint can also be seen in it.

The wonderful picture was accompanied by wonderful music, which was in the style of 80's disco music and an orchestral western? I'm not sure if such a genre of music exists. But the composer did a great job. I remembered the final scene of the film and the music in it the best.

After returning home, I was still thinking about the movie and the characters.

Hopefully this will be streaming , or I can get a 4k release of this. I used google translate to write this review, I'm sorry.
