P%C3%A4hk%C3%A4hullu Suomi


Phkhullu Suomi Insane Finland is a 1967 comedy by Spede Pasanen. It is occasionally cited as one of the best sources for his abstract sense of humour since the film has very little in the sense of plot and is more of a montage of various events. Some critics tend to call the film a featurelength travel advertisement of Finland rather than a movie because the maincharacters manage to effectively cover every Finnish touristtrap in the duration of the film. Coincidentally the film was released on the year of the 50th anniversary of the Finnish declaration of independence.

Becoming fed up with the Commerce Council Njurmi replaces himself with his bodyguard, a stereotypical Italian mobster named Luigi Esko Salminen with full rights to use Njurmis name and wealth whilst he and Simo continue to go about Finland unrecognised. It is at this point that the director and producer from the beginning of the film, removing their wigs and revealing themselves to be bald, turn out to be undercover agents for a party that is never identified during the film.Meanwhile Luigi is constantly harassed by the Finnish Commerce Council who are trying to get a sizable donation often pleading pitifully. Eventually Luigi gives them a check but not before he has seen traditional Finnish wintersports and dated the Miss Finland. Eventually Luigi is caught doubletiming by his wife effectively terminating his role from the rest of the film. ........
