NV19: Tuhlaajapoika

”Adark psychothriller mixing S&M mind games with American genre elements, The Prodigal Son is a real original that bites like a coiled rattlesnake. Fests are likely to snap up this Scandi-bauble for late-night slots and, with careful handling, it could beat out some cult business on the art-house circuit. --- Central character is tough ex-con Esa (Hannu Kivioja), who by chance takes on paid jobs as a bruiser when he can’t find regular employment. At first he just beats up street thugs; as word spreads, he starts taking private clients who enjoy the experience.
