People in the Summer Night
Movie • 1948 • Drama
ReportA visual poem based on a story by Nobel laureate F.E. Sillanpää. Set over one night in a small rural community we watch various relationships and actions among local people; these include birth, death, and conflicts fuelled by alcohol. The fates of various characters become interlaced over a long and light-filled summer night in the Finnish countryside. Lumberjacks, a deer-eyed young man Nokia, a family of poor farmers, a young girl and her lover... New life is born, old life dies, man is slain in his prime, and his widow continues her life.

No actual sex in the movie but a man tries to have sex with a woman at one point. At another point a man is playfully flirting with a woman and makes suggestive comments.

Doesn't die but a gay character gets a very unfortunate ending.

Slight 1940s typical racism towards a Chinese man who gets mentioned.
A character seems kind of weirded out by another character being gay but he doesn't say anything about it.

Slightly racist comments towards Chinese people around 8 minutes.
A gay man who kills a man, apparently out of some weird sexual frustration. Doesn't really imply that that's just how gay people are but yeah.

Nokia starts panicking after realizing that he's going to be put in prison. The last scene he is in, he is crying loudly and yelling.

Many characters are drunk during the movie, one of them has a major role. He slurs everything he says. Nokia buys liquor at one point and drinks it at the end of the movie, and gets clearly drunk.

There's a lake that is seen in many scenes. Characters are on a boat in one scene and about to on a boat in another.

A man gets arrested for murder. He is not taken to actual jail during the movie, he just gets locked in the house of another character with shackles on his ankles.

Swearing, very typical of a Finnish movie. Wouldn't call it obscene though.
