Punasii päin
2018·1h 30m·★ 8.0
FI original
The Finnish rap film Punasii päin draws inspiration from street art, particularly the Stop Graffiti project, which sees the film's main characters, graffiti artists Henri and Joonas, become uneducated and unemployed, burdened with disproportionate debt as punishment for painting on walls. Helsinki, the last bastion of prohibition, offers the marginalized a job as a drug dealer. The film features a significant number of Finnish rap artists and their provocative underground songs.
