Natura

Matti Harju Finland 2023 65 min Live action

Natura is Matti Harju's first longer film, in his luggage he has about ten short films that have been screened at the most prestigious international festivals. In a low-key thriller that takes absurd turns, he talks about class, wealth, and isolation in a digital, post-pandemic age. Two men get to know each other online and decide to break into a crypto millionaire's mansion. But stealing cryptocurrency turns out to be more complicated than they thought, and in addition, they need to help the robbery victim check his blood sugar level. A bit of a low-key laugh mirror to Funny Games, perhaps.
