From Wikipedia: The Winter War (original title in Finnish: Talvisota) is a 1989 Finnish war film directed by Pekka Parikka, based on The Winter War, a novel by Antti Tuuri. It tells the story of a Finnish infantry regiment "JR 23", which consists almost solely of men from Southern Ostrobothnia, focusing mainly on a platoon of reservists from Kauhava. The film was released in Finland and Sweden on the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Winter War.

How was it?
I thought it was very
good. It's become one
of my favorites. Very
Band of Brotherish feel
to it.
I'd have to watch it a few
more times to match characters
and names. The unfamiliarity
with Finnish names and the
uniformity (in my eyes) of
appearance made it difficult.

It is a 3 hour film .... but it is well done and worth the watch. Just finished watching it. And yes OFS .... a very
Band of Brotherish feel
to it.
