Some thoughts after watching "Liekki"
Antti Kairakari's movie called Liekki, (The Flame) is starting with many numbers of people dancing. Their dancing images are transparent and overlapping which make them to look like human flame. As they continue dancing, it looks like they are trapped in one body. They are all together dancing in one place, but all the individuals' dances are different. Their eager movements starts to be seen as resistance to escape from the body to be free. Their desires are shown in various motions from human bodies. As time passes and their dances reach the climax, we can see the dancers finally get out of the trap one by one and find freedom, by disapearing from the scene.
The dark background, the beautiful dances and calming music bring mixed feelings towards human beings and art.
