     Studio Pasila’s Elling is just such a play. Helsinki
You leave the City Theatre performance in good spirits. After all, there is

The
play, translated into Finnish by Kapulainen, is based on Ingvar Ambjørnsen’s novel The Blood Brothers.

What is different is
the
fact that the film can of course cope with its tasks with less
acting like theatre.
     For a while
Even Studio Pasila wonders if there is something a little too much in all this. There is
compared to film, but not necessarily theatre

However, Klemettilä
plays the role of Elling as the watchmaker
with precision to the brim of details. Another survivor, Kjell Bjarne,
interpreting Tuomas Uusitalo is
fresher in the sense that he goes more directly to the point, attacks
without meandering and like a whirlwind of things,
to the core.
     So there is a difference between the actors,
but not a drop of harm. Besides, Jouko Klemettilä’s expressive

The story is about two mental health treatments. They are released from institutional care and
get a shared apartment from the City of Oslo. Now we have to overcome our fears. You have to learn
to cope with the demands of civilian life, together and

, both the play and the performance are in trouble with their ending.
The story lacks the required last threat threshold that has yet to be crossed

     The narrative is in its finale
too much legaton and drifts a little aside from its central theme. The performance too
loses a touch of its energy and
vitality.

Things are good in Pasila
