Compartment No.6

Juho Kuosmanen's movie just won the Cannes 2021 Grand Prix award.

'Compartment No. 6' is the story of a young Finnish woman who escapes an enigmatic love affair in Moscow by boarding a train to the Arctic port of Murmansk. Forced to share the long ride and a tiny sleeping car with a Russian miner, the unexpected encounter leads the occupants of compartment no. 6 to face the truth about their own yearning for human connection.

So guys believe in yourself and try! I asked him to study German because many believes it is a difficult language. I thought it would take lots of time to learn but actually he only gave up on watching TV frequently.

Another great movie by Thomas Vinterberg. Well if you have already watched any Vinterberg movies, you just sit and wait curiously for the story. It never disappoints you!

I have to say that I was impressed already with the first moment of the movie. It starts with a quote from Danish philosopher Søren Aabye Kierkegaard who is one of my favorite writer.

- What is youth? A dream.

- What is love? The content of the dream.

I guess after seeing many times Mads Mikkelsen in Vinterberg movies, you already get used to that Danish sadness on his face! As a non-drinker, this movie was pretty interesting to me since drinking is the main subject in this movie.

If you have drinking problem, I would suggest to pass this movie! Since the perception is very personal, it might effect you differently.

I am surprised that no one has recommended this ready-made pizza before. The interesting part is not that is already better than all ready-made pizzas but it is even better than some restaurant pizzas! Since I moved to Helsinki, I have been trying pizzas, going new restaurants, trying ready-made ones etc just to discover more. Damn, how I missed this one and never tried it all..

here is the all snowmen I saw around the neighbourhood, last one is my unfinished snowman in my balcony. so which one is your favorite ⛄ :)
