Täältä tullaan, elämä!
[The title is impossible to translate. Life, Here We Come. Här har du oss, livet: approximate direct translations.] FI 1980. D: Tapio Suominen. Starring Esa Niemelä, Kati Outinen. 117 min. Viewed at Cinema Orion, Helsinki, 12 September 2008. - I watched the two first reels of the familiar film, which started a new period in Finnish cinema. A sure touch with "problem youth", authentic punk ambience. The print has a full photochemical impact. - Preceded by a contemporary 5 min video interview with Tapio Suominen by Kaarle Stewen (Valkokangas).

Täältä tullaan elämä!
A-23752 / 16 / FI / 1980 / Suominen, Tapio / drama
Täältä tullaan elämä! PC: Sateenkaari-Filmi. P+D: Tapio Suominen. SC: Yrjö-Juhani Renvall, Pekka Aine. M: Pelle Miljoona, Maukka Perusjätkä. CAST: Esa Niemelä (Jussi), Tony Holmström (Pete), Kati Outinen (Lissu), Pertti V. Reponen (Pappa). 1,66. 117’. Viewed in Helsinki, SEA, Cinema Orion, Wednesday 12 November 1997. **** I saw this Finnish Zeitgeist film of 17 years ago for the first time. The teenage audience watched it with total concentration. It is difficult to make a film about a contemporary generation, but these people succeeded. It is a coming-of-age story worthy of Nicholas Ray and Francois Truffaut. All performances ring true. The Finnish punk classics ”Täältä tullaan elämä” and ”Säpinää” still sound great.
