    I once again find myself in this all too familiar situation. Having finally brought myself to watch a major personal blind spot, feeling like I've discovered the greatest film ever made and that I need to tell everybody... but everybody already knows.

    (The last time this happened was with Singing in the Rain)

    Ariel

    ★★★★½

    I've always struggled to relate to classic Finnish culture because of the often dismal, pessimistic and downright stereotypical portrayal of the country and its inhabitants (maybe it's because the Finland I grew up in was just named the happiest country in the world for the fourth year in a row).

    Ariel does have a little of that but only to the extent where it perfectly complements the story. The main character Taisto constantly runs into bad luck and shitty situations…
