When interviewed by a Finnish journalist of Martin Scorsese's film 'Killers of the Flower Moon' in October 2023, he mentioned 'the Unknown Soldier' is his favourite Finnish film and which he has watched many, many times. The only problem with the subtitles is that it has been very difficult, rather impossible to translate the nuances od different Finnish dialects the book have in Finnish. There were problems with the army, when the film was made, because there are critics towards officers. So compromises had to be made. Though not very big. And finally when the filming started, the army gave very much material help.
