The Punk Syndrome (Kovasikajuttu) (2012)

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."

"11th January, from hard drive 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"

"08/01/2013 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."

"7.1.2013 Enjoyable documentary about a bunch of mentally handicap guys and their punk-band. It gives a nice look to those peoples lives and every one of them is pretty much equally presented, which is all well and good and so on. I get that it wasn't the point of this, but that band had some great songs, so I would have liked to see more of that stuff in the movie. I'm not that into documentaries, or I may only think so because of a guy like Michael Moore and because of some another praised Fin"

Magnificent Cinema (77 movies items)

"A documentary about a Finnish punk band Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät. The band members are all handicapped and they are best friends. These guys play hardcore punk with true pride and honesty which means that they're in the heart of their genre. All of the four band members have had very hard times, but with the help of music and resilience every problem have been solved. Extremely beautiful and true-to-life document, which is funny, sad and tragic. "

Finnish Films I'd Recommend for a Foreigner (49 movies items)

"Directed by the same guy who did The Living Room of the Nation, Jukka Kärkkäinen, together with Jani-Petteri Passi. Four mentally handi-capped guys form a band called Pentti Kurikan nimipäivät. They start playing punk rock, tour Finland and Germany and become national celebrities. Their music has a message but they know their punk - the message is not soft and bland but real, rough and edgy. This film was very anticipated long before it came out. It's a documentary full of life, Finnish fr"

"3.8. Jossakin on selvästi onnistuttu, kun dokumentti onnistuu näyttämään tarkastelemansa yhtyeen jäsenten elämää falskaamatta ja tirkistelemättä oikeastaan lainkaan. Mielettömän elämäniloista ja koskettavaa materiaalia ihmisistä, jotka ovat epäreilujen lähtökohtien kautta päässeet ilmaisemaan itseään huikealla tavalla. Kaikista vastoinkäymisistään huolimatta he näyttävät onnellisemmilta kuin useimmat ihmiset ja soittavat niin pirun rehellisinä hienoja kappaleitaan,"

" What is it about? It is 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. The movie follows these professional musicians on their journey from obscurity to popularity. suggested by Lamourderer"
