Movie: Slaget om Finland - Tali Ihantala 1944

This is the story about the largest battle fought in the nordic countries, with 50 000 troops on the finnish side, and 150 000 on the soviet side. The battle started 3 days after D-day when the soviets went on the offensive after years of static warfare.

The movie is more of a reenacted documentary then a action/war-movie, no plot (other then historical facts), but interesting nonetheless (if you are interested in history of course).

In a way this is the sequel to Framom främsta linjen, also worth seeing.

Are they both available on DVD?

Framom främsta linjen should be available on DVD, I have only seen it at the cinema. Slaget om Finland had it premiere a little over a week ago I think, probably not out on DVD yet.

Hmmm…if it had premier on the cinema for a week ago, do you know if it is only local, or will be shown in other country’s cinemas later?

Since I cant see any movie with that title in the local cinema in my town…

I think they opened here in Umeå (Framom främsta linjen had it’s world? premiere here at least, yes, I was there, so was Harry Järv who that story is mostly about :)).
