Beauty and the Bastard
Modern finnish movie about two very different young adults that after a chance meeting end up making music together and fall in love. While Nellis parents have the perfect career and man planned, she dreams of becoming a singer. Through a chance meeting at the studio, she meets the young and grungy Hip Hop music artist Sunen and asks him to help her make a demo tape. Not only is the ensuing story about differences growing closer and the difficulties that have to be overcome, well told. Also the music is exceptionally well made. It is quite unbelievable that this is the first feature of the director.
A vibrant, feel-good romance where two worlds collide through the power of music. It’s a story about chasing dreams and finding love against the odds, set to an infectious hip-hop beat. Perfect for a feel-good movie night.
