Summary:
Teuvo Tulio (1912-2000) was one of the most original directors in Finnish film history. Growing up in the newly independent Finland, he lived most of his life in the Finnish cultural and social context, yet he always remained something of an outsider and ended up as a total recluse. This collection explores Tulio's unique style and the extent, and effect of his obsessive recirculation of story elements and stylistic patterns in his work.
