Tommi Eronen Interview at european-films
by Andre Soares
At european-films.net, Boyd van Hoeij does a brief q&a with Tommi Eronen, Finland’s 2007 Shooting Star. As per Boyd’s intro, Eronen had a supporting role in the 2004 Finnish Oscar submission Lapsia ja aikuisia - Kuinka niitä tehdään? / Producing Adults and recently starred in "the first-ever Sino-Finnish co-production Jadesoturi / Jade Warrior, in which elements of Chinese wuxia "honourable fighting" films (Hero, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and the traditional Finnish Karevala [sic] mythology are combined into a spectacular whole."
A brief quote from the Tommi Eronen q&a:
"Finnish cinema is like the northern dimension of European cinema and is rising all the time. It is typically in a melancholy mood; we are the European schoolboys."

It’s not “Karevala”. It’s “Kalevala” with “L” ;)
