Backwood Philosopher poster

Overview

Self-taught philosopher Konsta Pylkkänen guides a group of researchers through Finland's Kainuu wilderness in the hopes of having a "sinistä ajatusta", idea out of the blue. While firing upon a hybrid of the hazel grouse and the western capercaillie, kinds of birds, he indeed makes a scientific discovery.

00:05:17 I'm not so bad as everybody thinks.
00:09:23 Should we just forget about all this? No, if we do the worm justice.
00:13:12 Loggerhog... -Don't you laugh.
00:19:25 Nature sure is uncanny.
00:25:12 Why did they have to dip into that tree of good and bad knowledge?
00:28:42 Can you see to the moon with those university telescopes?
00:33:51 and I decided I should climb on it.
00:38:05 But when push comes to shove-
00:41:48 How much do you pay per day? -Would 500 marks do?
00:45:17 But if Moses, or I-
00:48:13 I just tickled the oars and it flew like a storm.
00:51:06 Crazies!
00:56:04 So I got the permit in May. I'm acting as an expert.
01:00:26 That's what happens-
01:07:00 Some bowel produce. The doctor always asks for it.
01:10:14 Someone said they heard him crying drunk-
01:13:10 Turn of the century? Naked amidst water lilies?
01:16:32 Damnest damn!
01:19:25 So, let's go.
01:27:59 And on a rocky islet where pine trees grow-
01:31:06 Reckoned I might. -A word of advice from an old friend.
01:34:13 Selmi, did someone stop by here? A bald man.
01:39:30 Really, you don't have to.
