M.A. Numminen Turns Rabbit - The Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Rabbits

To understand this movie... or actually more like a music video, one should know a little bit of its background. M.A. Numminen is a very famous musician in Finland. He is mostly known for many kinds of experimental projects, but children know him better for his rabbit character. Most of his children's songs are humorous and smart, and so is this one also. In this adaptation of his old songs, rabbits ask for their natural rabbits' rights.

The film takes place in a major tourist attraction in northern Finland, the Kemi snow castle. It is indeed a good place to start the revolution of rabbits. Men make castles of rock, rabbits are happier with the snow castle. White little fluffies are well protected from their enemies by the snow. One should also not forget that Numminen used to be a very political figure, although I would like to see this film as entertainment. Make your own interpretations.

Overall, the film is of good quality. Claess Olsson as a director is a professional with a lot of experience. This movie is also part of a series of M.A. Numminen -videos directed by Olsson, and I can see their cooperation works very well. I must admit, though, that this is kind of an insider joke.

Watching this film I was smiling all the time. As it is pure enjoyment, I must give it a full 10. I probably shouldn't be writing a serious review of the film, but I can't help it, as this is one of my favourites.
