Oh, I just said that because I would love to be fannish and geeky about The Cuckoo, but I have yet to find anyone else to do it with. Not enough people have seen it.

It's a fantastic, fairly recent movie set in Lapland during WWII. A Finnish soldier and a Russian soldier escape their respective horrible fates and end up staying with a Saami widow. None of them speaks any but their own language, so all kinds of hijinks ensue--some funny, some upsetting. It's a slow, lovely, detailed movie. With reindeer! And polyamory! And a silly jokey reference to one of the actors.

The icon I made isn't strictly true--she does do the laundry! I think that's why he's wearing her skirt.
