When a film in the style of Sex & the City is filmed in Finland, the main actors are Bulgarian men in Helsinki, of course, and the result is a good-natured comedy about a young man’s attempt at understanding what it is to be single after the break-down of his marriage. The director of the film, Tonislav, is also the protagonist who decides to look for new love. Tonislav and his three loyal friends go through etiquette training, dance lessons, grooming as well as fitness training, yet without success as the dreaded 30-year birthday arrives. On their way to a friend´s wedding on the other side of Finland the friends grow as men, at least a little bit, as they relate their dating history.
One would hope that this jolly threesome finds Finnish women, but would The One be found on Bulgarian shores, after all? Rules of Single Life is a film about men who like women and are not afraid to show their feelings. –Docpoint.info
The first 26 minutes were hard to watch, but after that they seemed to be a little less foolish. Good movie though, I like the plain dialogue, no dramatizing. This is my kind of movie, where the special effect budget is less than 250 euro.
This film is, it seems to me, much more realistic than its description as a "comedy" would suggest.
Whether they’re making light-hearted comedies or deadly serious documentaries, these are four of the freshest voices from Finland.
