“I was sort of embarrassed by this win,” he jokes. The comedy was shot six years ago and originally intended as a part of an episodic film. At previous Jussi Awards, Salmenperä was named best director for “Distractions” in 2016, and drama “Void” won best director and best film in 2019. “Bubble,” set to premiere in the spring of next year, is bound to surprise some of his fans, however, with Salmenperä calling it “the cosiest film” he has ever made.
Produced by Minna Haapkylä for Rabbit Films, pulling double duty as one of the leads alongside Salmenperä’s regular Tommi Korpela, the film will still feature one of his trademarks, though: uncomfortable situations. “These characters can be suffering, but Aleksi’s look at them is loving and tender. It’s not mean,” adds Haapkylä. “It’s easy to act in his films. You can go as far as he asks you to, because you feel protected. Aleksi always says: ‘Don’t rely on your bag of tricks!’ He asks you to put them aside and be open.”
