About This Movie

Some of These Days is an intriguing short documentary by Jörn Donner, capturing Helsinki in spring—its raw, poetic ugliness on full display. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to absorb the often harsh beauty of the landscape. There's a certain melancholic tone that runs through it, making you reflect on the city’s character. It’s not polished or overly romanticized; instead, there’s a gritty authenticity that feels genuine. Practical effects are minimal, relying mostly on the environment itself, which adds to the immersive experience. The performances are more about the atmosphere than individual actors, creating a collective impression of the city. It’s a distinctive piece that challenges you to see beauty in the flawed.
