i saw this film at the 2006 palm spring international film festival and director aku louhimies introduce his film and be on hand for q and a after . for some reason this movie be title frozen land in english so i do not know how the distributor get frozen out of paha . this be a very good film . it doesn not for me have enough that i would knock it up a notch to the excellent category but i do talk to some viewer who felt that it be an excellent film . louhimies say that back in finland people either love this movie or hat it and say a lot of people in theater walk out on it . i be sure some object to some of the violence and swearing and drug and alcohol abuse and sexual explicate scene . it a very clever story of how these different life be weave together because of a trickle down effect . this film have very interesting and strong character . i would rate it a 7 . 0 out of a possible 10 and would see it again and recommend it with caution .
