  • Story:
    Interwoven with scenes that are meant to grab attention by their stunning composition, this biographical look at Finland's violinist Arto Arsi is not so much a narration of his childhood and early years, as an attempt to artistically show what was happening inside his psyche during that time. Literally sold to a master teacher, Sergei Rippas (Tarmo Manni) by his mother when he was still a child, the violin prodigy was forcefully and strictly raised to practice, practice, and perfect his technique. Once an adult, Arsi finds a way to escape the rigors of a U.S. tour and drowns his overworked self in drink, or seeks out one-night stands, or otherwise lets off steam. The tightly-wound spring that has been coiled since he was forced into his grueling training and work sessions -- shown through symbolic images -- eventually snaps in a healthy way, freeing Arsi at last to continue on, simply for the love of music.

TRIVIA

Trivia

The character of Sergei Rippas is loosely based on Boris Sirpo. He also taught Heimo Haitto, the main inspiration for the film.

The final collaboration by directors Pirjo Honkasalo and Pekka Lehto, along with their production company P-kino Oy.

Actors Raimo Karppinen, Tarmo Manni and Rea Mauranen spend seven weeks in the United States (main locations include Los Angeles, Las Vegas and the Mojave Desert), often filming at night or in the small hours of the morning. Manni and Mauranen were also present at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival, where the film screened at the independent "Directors' Fortnight" section. It was the second Finnish film in the category, after A Time of Roses (1969).

A 12-year-old violinist Jan Söderblom (playing Arto Arsi as a child) practiced Max Bruch's "Violin Concerto No. 1" for about two years and plays it himself during the opening credits. Atso Almila composed the film's score in a style of Bruch.

Jussi Parviainen wrote the initial screenplay for the film. He's thanked in the end credits.
