Quote:
In Maunu Kurkvaara’s social film, journalist Ilmari Niemelä (Yrjö Tähtelä) is assigned to investigate prostitutes working in the harbour. In a sparrow bar, he meets Ritva (Ritva Vepsä) and Ulla (Ulla Väre), who tell him about their lives as shipgirls. Ilmar is intrigued by Vuokko (Anneli Sauli), whose romance with him seems to be hindered by the woman’s difficult past, the contents of which are gradually revealed to Ilmar.

Unlike most Finnish movies in the 1960s, this film included nude scenes, receiving a K-16 certification.

The post Maunu Kurkvaara – Raportti eli balladi laivatytöistä AKA Report or Ballad about Shipgirls (1964) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Finnish director Risto Jarva’s fascinating, futuristic sci-fi mystery is set in a dystopian, Pop Art-designed world of gleaming white towers, Sony video monitors and inflatable furniture, where the beautiful inhabitants all dress as Edie Sedgwick-like pixie sprites or medieval page boys out of LOGAN’S RUN. A historian of late 20th century culture – “before class boundaries were abolished” – named Raimo (Arto Tuominen) is researching the death many years earlier of a free-spirited erotic model named Saara (Ritva Vepsä) who died under mysterious circumstances. (She caused a public scandal by asking three of her wealthy, powerful lovers to pay for an abortion). Raimo finds Saara’s identical double – an earthy, uninhibited engineer named Kisse (also played by Vepsä) — and tries to convince her to re-enact Saara’s life and death for TV. Director Jarva was one of Finland’s most acclaimed fiction filmmakers and documentarians before he was tragically killed in an auto accident returning from a screening in 1977. His fabulously quirky vision of Future World, with its fragmented & abstract political conversation and semi-orgies (all waving hands and sitar music!) would have delighted both Andy Warhol and Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
