Storyline

It is 1595. Brutal wars have just ended in an uneasy peace between Protestant Sweden and Orthodox Russia. We focus on the spiritual defeats of two conquered Finnish brothers, one a hardened near-psychopathic war hero, the other a gentle scientist in an age with no use for such men. They find themselves in the swampy interior, demarcating the new border with a unit of sadistic Russians.

Sauna cleverly uses history and religious faith to spin a surreal tale of guilt, sin, and redemption.

RTReel Film ReviewsMar 11, 2011

...one of the most repugnant and flat-out contemptible cinematic experiences to come around in quite some time.

B

RTPopMattersOct 31, 2009

Similar in style to the brilliant Let the Right One In, this story of blame and belief, terror and trepidation uses an unfamiliar era and event to lay the foundation for one undeniable work of fear.

RTFilm ThreatJul 22, 2009

Director AJ Annila bends the tone before our eyes ... We follow his lead and don't give a damn if it all amounts to nonsense.
