Le temps des moissons poster

Released in 1956, Le temps des moissons is a drame film directed by Matti Kassila, running about 94 minutes.

What it’s about. The title of the Finnish film Elokuu translates to August. Directed by Matti Kassila, one of Finland's premiere filmmakers, Elokuu was adapted from a novel by Nobel prize winning finnish author F.E. Sillanpää. Simply put, the story concerns the decline and fall of a once-proud family, thanks to the alcoholism of its paterfamilias. Toivo Makela delivers a powerfully effective performance as the inebriated protagonist, avoiding the usual "drunken" cliches. The overlong running time, coupled with the downbeat nature of the subject, limited the film's worldwide appeal.

Who’s in it. Le temps des moissons stars Toivo Mäkelä as Viktor, Emma Väänänen as Saimi, Rauni Luoma as Maija and Rauni Ikäheimo as Iita, among others.
