Mafia tappaa vain kesäisin

At first, I was on tenterhooks about this movie. The first half was told from a child’s point of view, which was nice, but there wasn’t exactly a lot of funny moments. But I really loved how excited the small boy was about the politician, with putting his pictures up in his bathroom and all that. That was great. Luckily, when the childhood got a little boring, it suddenly shifted into the second half of the movie. For a change, the second half was about his adulthood where he was searching for a job. I ended up liking the second part a little bit more because it was absurd in many regards. But truth be told, it eventually started to get boring, too, and left the viewer awaiting some sort of a shock to spice the movie up. But then comes the ending and the director Pif closed it all up in an incredibly human way with a large thank-you to those who fought against mafia; it made me go to bed with a huge excitement about a well-finished movie, but a sad feeling about all the monsters in this world at the same time.
