Rakkauden risti

Brilliantly shot and directed. The moralistic story is lifted by the melodramatic cast. Also, awesome parrot.

Heavy moral melodrama from Teuvo Tulio. Tells the story of a lighthouse keeper's daughter and her naive introduction to city life, which turns tragic. Comes together nicely, though the acting is clearly to strike a strong enough emotional effect and might be too much for some. But with the way this film was focused it didn't feel out of place, and got some really gripping moments from the actors, especially with the old lighthouse keeper Oscar Tengström and his daughter Regina Linnanheimo.
