Sinikka Nopola and Tiina Nopola have created Ricky Rapper, a popular figure of children's fiction in 14 books since 1997, three plays, an animated tv series and two theatrical musical comedy films directed by Mari Rantasila. Risto Räppääjä ja polkupyörävaras, which premiered in February, is the most popular film of the year in Finland and still running.
Again I'm a perfect stranger in a screening. I like the performances of the child protagonists Severi Heikkilä and Lauramaija Luoto, and Ulla Tapaninen is again great as Pakastaja-Elvi ("Mrs. Freeze").
The approach is that of a musical fantasy farce. The acting style of the other characters is early Keystone. The colour palette is anti-realistic in the extreme.
