The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
The masterpiece is reloaded and the bullet is yet to come.
The middle episode of Matrix trilogy keeps going like a roadrunner. Wachowskies make art of figure and motion instead of noise and power. The neverending parade of action cliches lacks any kind of testosteronic dullness. The unique Matrix scifi mystique is designed, visualised and served cool. In this second episode Neo is ready to fulfill his destiny as the chosen one. But what is destiny in an artificial nightmarish world. All we Matrix freaks have tasted the truth twice. The masterpiece is reloaded and the bullet is yet to come.
Pitkä kuuma kesä (1999)
Warmly and seriously about punk nostalgy
This warm, fresh story tells about punk subculture in a little town in the eastern part of Finland. During a summer a group of youngsters get closer to their dream having a chance to perform their own music at the big town stage. The young director Perttu Leppä tells about a period he has lived trough. We can watch the episodes smiling with him. "Long Hot Summer" is a remarkable work conserning punk energy and music making in the 1980´s.
