Movies on The Web say:
During the course of the film, the lead character Aaki attaches 1209 rivets to the various tractors that come down the production line, pausing only twice to visit the toilet and to have his sandwiches (for which he is admonished by his supervisor). The experience of watching the film has been likened to having 1209 rivets driven into your own skull, gradually removing the viewer's will to live.
Arty Movies on The Web say:
During the course of the film one is taken through all the emotions, each rivet seems like a new high in the art of representational cinematographic history. One is both dismayed and exhilerated at the same time in this classic of Finno-Latvic cinema. A wonderfully inventive allegory of Nazism and the European Union, this epic was recently voted second best film ever made, behind the 1929 Russian classic 'The Ducks Have Flown to Moscow'.
