"At once arty and artless, stark and fulsome, Cine Tulio is characterized by an exaggerated emotional intensity and an equally primal lack of self-consciousness. Here is a filmmaker indifferent to mismatches, shamelessly dependent on musical cues, and hopelessly addicted to blunt metaphors" (J. Hoberman, The Village Voice). Finn Kino presents a collection four much-ballyhooed melodramas by the matinee idol-turned-auteur, Teuvo Tulio (1912-2000): Rikollinen Nainen (A Woman of Crime, 1952, 108 mins.); Mustasukkaisuus (Jealousy, 1953, 90 mins.); the unforgiving tale of a woman's alcoholism, Olet Mennyt Minun Vereeni (You Have Gone Into My Blood, 1956, 98 mins.); and Tulio's last film, a swinging Eastmancolor production called Sensuela (1972, 105 mins.). In Finnish with optional English subtitles.
