Details.
This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Kalevala: The New Era (Finnish: Kalevala – Uusi aika) is a 2013 Finnish fantasy film directed by Jari Halonen. It loosely based on Finnish epic poetry, The Kalevala, taking place both in the ancient land of the Kalevala and also in modern Finland.
Director Halonen started working on his own Kalevala-themed film after his previous film, The Life of Aleksis Kivi, working on it for ten years. According to Halonen, Lönnrot's Kalevala has always been "misinterpreted" by Finns, and in his own vision, he wanted to emphasize that "the Kalevala is a song of praise for equal motherhood and holiness."
The film was premiered on 15 November 2013. The film, made with a budget of €250,000, turned out to be a box-office bomb and received a mostly negative reception from critics.
In 2015, the film was released on television as a three-part miniseries under the name Kalevala – Väinämöisen uusi laulu ("A New Song of Väinämöinen").
