Interesting facts

Production

By the time of Yksityisalue, Kurkvaara had already established his working methods. He typically used only a single take to prevent actors from losing energy through repeated retakes, rehearsing extensively beforehand. His standard practices included post-dubbing and the use of a silent camera.

Kurkvaara believed that a film should fully reflect the director’s vision and that the crew should be kept small, aiming for what he described as an “intensive tone”.
