Aliisa

Finland 1970 B/W 85 min (TV movie)

****

Drama

cast: Siiri Angerkoski (Aliisa)
credits: dir. Jukka Sipilä, script Aulikki Oksanen

This movie was made for TV but that doesn't make it worse than "real" movies. It's a story about poor old lady who tries to survive although she has no home and no friends. It's very realistic. There's (still) many old women and men who has nobody to help them when they really need it.

Although the movie is quite depressive, Siiri Angerkoski's strong performance is good to see. This was her last movie before she died (cancer, 1971).
