Vares, a film noir comedy from Finland, is yet another twist on PULP FICTION.

Фильм посвящен финским солдатам, сражавшимся в "Зимней войне" и оборонявших линию Манергейма. Литературный классик Антти Туури, сочинивший сюжет для фильма «Зимняя война», не прогадал. Режиссер Пекки Парикк снял батальный эпос о событиях зимней войны 39-40 годов. Фильм вышел на экраны в 1989-м, и по сути стал самым кассовым финским фильмом года. Будет любопытен любителям исторических фильмов про войну, особенно интересен взгляд "с другой стороны".
