'Ariel'

The Finnish film industry is not as accomplished as you might think. Especially considering they're so close to Sweden and Norway.

No, the Finns are pretty good at hockey, not so good at making films. Or they don't try as hard.

Aki Kaurismäki is, by far, the most prolific Finnish director of all time often portraying the trials of the poor, rural proletariat struggling against the machine that spits them far more than it makes them millions or even remotely successful.

He is also known for making short films. Ariel runs 73 minutes. He has stated that a film shouldn't run longer than 90 minutes.

Maybe the Finnish aren't as prolific, but they're smarter.
