david l The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki wears its influences proudly on its sleeves. Its artistic black-and-white cinematography and the naturalistic, sensual approach to storytelling evoke sixties cinema, especially the French New Wave. With such an influence came also the baggage of sparse dialogue, typical biographical conventions and weaker characterization. The romance, though, works entirely and that ending is immensely beautiful.

Really enjoyable! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Una maravilla de direcciòn en blanco y negro, una pelìcula sobre el box sin caer en lugares ccomunes. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A winningly perceptive Finnish biopic that also excels as a whimsical existential dramedy. Anchored by Scandinavian dour humour and beatific vignettes, it examines if happiness is really about personal gains or emotional fulfilment. Deserves to be seen by a wider audience, rather than be predictably relegated to the niche "B&W" or "Foreign film" shelves. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I like it. Small, simple, touching. A love story rather than a boxing movie.
