Season 5, Episode 3’s title comes from a remark that Vadim once said to me. Namely, due to my being able to sit through Birdsong and enjoying it at the Anthology, I clearly was a harder art film nerd than people would assume.
And lo, it sort of did happen. But enough about that.
Our guest is Olli Sulopuisto, a Finnish writer/critic who was in the States for the summer. We picked his brain about the vast differences about Finnish film culture, how media works and why can’t I stop being an ignorant American when it comes to thinking Denmark is Finland?
This is much shorter than our last epic episode. But it’s perfect for your Friday listening.
