The hard life of Aleksis Kivi
by Petey-102011-10-18

"This movie tells the story of Alexis Stenvall, better known as Aleksis Kivi (1834-1872), from 1846 to his death.Minä Elän (1946) is directed by Ilmari Unho.Rauli Tuomi is brilliant as Aleksis Kivi.He puts every bit off him to the role, his very soul.This actor, who committed suicide only three years later, won a Jussi award from his performance.Nothing wrong with the rest of the cast either.Matti Kivi plays Aleksis as a child.Kaarlo Aavajoki and Anni Aitto play his parents.Oiva Luhtala and Tarmo Manni play two of his brothers.Emma Väänänen is Manta Stenvall.Hilkka Helinä portrays Albina Palmqv..."
