SOLAR FILMS 20 – THE LEGEND OF THE MOVING IMAGE

Solar Films' 20th anniversary book, The Legend of the Moving Image, is a worthy collection of stories from the company that has produced three of the most profitable domestic films of all time. Edited by Rampe Toivonen, the book certainly contains information, facts and analysis, but above all it is about unashamedly entertaining memories and stories that lack a lesson.

The book is a horn of plenty, which the reader will laugh and enjoy to the full. At Solar Films, heavy fun is the reward for hard work. Not much is said about it, but everything is carefully catalogued.

THE LEGEND OF THE MOVING IMAGE MAKES YOU WANT MORE AND MORE. WHILE MUCH HAS BEEN REVEALED, OBVIOUSLY MUCH HAS BEEN LEFT UNDISCLOSED.

Jukka Kajava would be proud of all this, and you would think that the book itself would pass through the hands of, say, Putte Wilhelmsson or even the most critical readers who despise Parnasso. Thanks to the subjects Markus Selin, Jukka Helle, Jasper Pääkkönen, Antti J. Jokinen, Rampe Toivonen and many others who forged their words..."
