Rent spel by Tove Jansson7/1/2023 Characters sneer at Vivica Bandler (Krista Kosonen), the woman who will be Tove’s great love, for being a rich girl, the daughter of the mayor no less, who’s playing at being an artist by directing theater. Politics is more forward in the mix, with talk of socialist principles bandied about. Similarly, Tove, though more assertively carnal, finds contemporary echoes in a historical setting, once again delving into a subculture just on the edge of the bourgeoisie. Paradise riffed on a true-life-inspired, 1920s story about a Finnish religious cult, told through the eyes of an emotional but physically chaste triangle among three women. The drama is written by Eeva Putro (who also appears onscreen as Tove’s friend Maya), but anyone who caught director Zaida Bergroth’s earlier feature Maria’s Paradise will spot a family resemblance between that film and the new one.
