    There so many films with this kind of scenario but a little different. I found it interesting how the two women were too scared to face hand to hand combat when truth was out. It had a little suspence to it though it was kind confusing at one point with that phone call and oh bef...( read more)ore that at Saara Bday was absolutly immature. Overall good.

    Black Ice

    The movie of Black Ice gave me a mock of eternal triangle from Leo (Martti Suosalo), Saara (Outi Mäenpää) and Tuuli (Ria Kataja). It was a dreadful bore from their emotional impulse. But a certain extent from this film, it was really a lot of sexual passion from ...( read more)their liberal and outspoken. I think It should be left speechless for everyone.

    The story is to describe a doctor Saara who discovered a used pack of condoms from her husband (Leo). Saara was a rude and unreasonable woman. She knew Leo having the extramarital relative with his student Tuuli. Being a wife, Saara was so angry. She began to envious of her and decided to be under the mask of Tae Kwon Do students to follow with the coach from Tuuli. It was so surprise that they were becomes a very good friend in a quite way for a long time.

    I admire the director Petri Kotwica who used his ways of simple optics to produce a film. Watching from a new of the landscape on the frame, I think his special camera can lens to catch the facial and sound expression from the actor and actress.

    Black Ice lets me know that interpersonal relationship is really a complex problem to the rest of the social question from person to person. It?s a common film, but it?s good for a humor and reflection.

    It was not a new story, but throughout the film, director has created a number of plots to present a special feeling of a pair of opposite roles, a wife and a mistress, Saara (Outi Mäenpää ) and Tuuli (Ria Kataja), which was different from other mysterious film to describe the wi...( read more)fe to retailate on mistress, every intention and step from Saara that showed her wit and calm, matched her professional background and rational character, meticulous performance of Outi Mäenpää has successfully acted this complex role. Treacherous husband (Leo, Martti Suosalo) who just met my expectation that seemed a real person, his selfish and lies that trapped himself reversely with his wife and then irony died from misunderstanding her wife has another love affair, never know will become a father from Tuuli.

    I liked the ending as it's like a sense of "cause and effect" of our life. You never know what will be happen, you got what you had done! Even though it's sad but realistic somehow.
