The Punk Syndrome is a film about Finland’s most kick-ass punk rock band, Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät. The band members, Pertti, Kari, Toni and Sami, are mentally handicapped and they play their music with a lot of attitude and pride.
We follow these professional musicians on their journey from obscurity to popularity. We watch them fight, fall in love and experience strong emotions. We witness long days in the recording studio and on tour. They laugh, cry, drink and fight over who gets to sit in the front on the tour bus. Then it’s time to make up and go talk to people in the audience and tell them how great their band is.
Their songs are about the problems in society as well as about things that they face in their everyday life: how going to the pedicurist sucks and the misery of living in a group home. The guys give piece of their mind to both politicians and people whose attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities need improvement.
The Punk Syndrome is a film about the essence of punk. It’s a story of handicapped people rebelling against the mainstream. This time you’re allowed to stare and wonder why they act the way they do. And you’ll fall in love with them as you watch how the most kick-ass punk band in Finland conquers the world.

Dokumenttia parhaimmillaan. Tarkastelin pitkälti siksi kun tuo yhtye nähdään parin viikon päästä Porisperessä, ja pakkohan on käydä kattomassa. Dokumentti koskettaa, naurattaa, ilahduttaa ja jokainen jäsen on niin sympaattisia. "

Vähän jäi raapimaan, miksi tämä dokkari kantaa sellaista arvostusta kuin kantaa. Yrittäessäni ajatella asiaa miltä kantilta tahansa, alan voimaan hieman pahoin. Jotenkin ainoastaan "ihan ookoota" dokumenttia katsoessaan tulee ensinnä mieleen forrestgumpainen säälin sekainen myötätunto: että tämä olisi elokuva siitä, miten kehitysvammainenkin on ihminen, hänellä voi olla elämä, tunteet ja hänkin voi"

 The Best of 2012 (20 movies items)"
The Punk Syndrome represents Finnish films at its bests. This is a documentary about a punk band called Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät (Eng. Pertti Kurikka's Name Day), which consists of mentally handicapped people. It is rather lovely that the film leaves no character behind and shows each character equally, telling the honest story of the life with the uphills and downhills, and mostly with all the love and hilariousity."

I thought it was only a tale of legends, but now I know it's true: Finnish film producers CAN make great films. The Punk Syndrome is one of the very best Finnish films I've seen and one of the best documentaries I have had the joy to watch in a long time. The film follows the life of a punk band called Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät, whose members are mentally handicapped and have to deal with life under constant care. The band is actually very popular and I believe i"

Kovasikajuttu lienee kovimpia suomalaiselokuvia miesmuistiin. Homman skenaario on loistava ja hahmot ovat kertakaikkisen sympaattisia. Draama kulissien takana tuodaan hienosti kunkin bändin jäsenen osalta esille. Tunteita herätetään laidasta laitaan ja kyydistä nauttii todenteolla. Kovasikajuttu on dokumentti aidoimmillaaan."
