Häiriötekijä

Here we are moving somewhere between the grotesque, the absurd and the surreal. The viewer cannot always be sure if it is suitable to laugh at this, or if this is even anything to laugh about. But many scenes in Häiriötekijä have been taken so far in their own fuzzy logic that there really is no other possibility. The options are to laugh or be horrified – or both. The slogan "disturbingly funny" was clearly selected for a reason. The film is divided into ten independent stories connected by derailing events and pitch-dark humour. If any of the episodes should be brought to the front, these could include Tommi Korpela's mad monologue or Elina Knihtilä's long and gruesome dying scene as a noble woman.
