Serce lwa

From a movie set in the milieu of radical neo-Nazis, I didn't expect any miracles, so I was amazed at how quickly I became engrossed in the plot and anxiously watched the story unfold, knowing full well that it would end very badly. Even in the final revelation, I was completely caught off guard, for which I must commend the creators, as they delivered quite a decent adrenaline-filled cinematic experience for me. To take a breather at the most drastic scene and think everything turned out well, that really hasn't happened to me yet. (80%) (09.07.2020)

I must say the Finns surprised me a lot with this movie. Not only because it presents an uncompromising description of the nationalism problem in their country, but also since they managed to incorporate this story in a plot completely different from what a standard European-born viewer might imagine. And naturally, it answers these complicated questions in just as uncompromising and successful manner, which befits a proper Scandinavian movie. But it’s actually strange that a movie on this topic was made of all countries in the one that probably has the smallest problem with immigration in Europe. I think they even have more Gypsies than migrants and they take royal care of them. Nevertheless, I was surprised that when I read a Finnish newspaper once, the only article involving crime was about two Ethiopian soccer players who burgled the football club that had vouched for them.
