Acute chronicle of (lost) youth
Mimi (Amu Milonov) and Ronko (Eleanor Kauhanen) have just finished their studies. To pass the time and earn money, they work together at a smoothie bar. Between the two services, they talk about their love, expectations, tell each other about their recent sexual experiences… but also their disappointments.
When Mimi meets Emma (Linnea Leino), a figure skater on her way to the European Championships, it’s love at first sight. And Ronko goes from party to party and has many meetings.
Three different ways, three approaches to love and passion, but the same furious desire to live. At the crossroads of roads and centuries, Girl Picture is primarily about love and encounters, discovering others, but also oneself. Mirror turned into an often lost youth, straddling Nothing to give damn and the series Euphoria, Girl Picture expresses the awkwardness, the desire for everything and nothing, the exuberant youth of its characters.
A thrilling and intoxicating vision, the true definition of modern romanticism, an urgent discovery!
Political work done with conviction
This report could not be more timely. Very popular in Finland, all three have been awarded for their performance in Girl Picture, they perfectly embody this youth’s search for meaning and pleasure.
With almost 30 nominations, notably at the Les Arcs and Sundance festivals, where it won the audience award, this feature film by Finnish director Ali Haapasalo has already attracted attention.
“I hope these girls feel that their lives go on after the movie. says the director for this RogerEbert.com. I want them to love them, then love themselves. I don’t like the term “feel good” movie, but this is a good movie. I want people to feel good.“
Political and hopeful, this highly topical fable is a welcome addition to the catalog FILMOThe arrival of which perfectly coincides with International Women’s Rights Day.
