Finnish film director and screenwriter.

Director of the film Scompartimento n. 6 (Compartment No. 6). Known publicly as a Finnish film director; his filmography includes The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki and Scompartimento n. 6.

A positive review of Juho Kuosmanen's Scompartimento n. 6 highlighting a cross-cultural train journey and a strong performance by Yuryi Borisov. The review describes the development of trust and friendship between two distant characters set in the 1990s.

For:Fans of international, arthouse and character-driven cinema.

  1990s. Laura, a Finnish archaeology student in Moscow, and Lioha, a Russian underclass worker. They meet in compartment no. 6, the sleeping car of a train bound for Murmansk. A long journey towards the Great North. She, a lesbian, is unknowingly fleeing a finished relationship. He, more prosaically, is going to work at the gigantic mine. Under the surface, a possible metaphor emerges, Scandinavia crosses paths with the Great Mother Russia: the deep, generous, and indomitable Russia that flashes in Lioha's feline eyes. An extraordinary performance by Yuryi Borisov in a film that unfolds effortlessly, narrating the birth of a trust and friendship relationship between two seemingly distant people.
