Overview

Kahdeksan surmanluotia perustuu Pihtiputaalla talvella 1969 tapahtuneeseen verityöhön, jossa juovuksissa riehunut pienviljelijä Tauno Pasanen ampui neljä häntä pidättämään tullutta poliisia. Nälkämaan laulu vie katsojan autioituvalle maaseudulle ja laukauksiin, jotka kajahtavat lumisessa maisemassa. Pitkä takauma kertoo tapahtumien taustat ja pienviljelijäperheen ilot ja murheet ennen kohtalokkaita laukauksia.

Overview

Eight deadly shots è basato su una storia vera, accaduta nel 1969. In un momento di disperazione, un certo Tauno Veikko Pasanen, la cui vita si era progressivamente degradata, uccise quattro poliziotti. Nel film Tauno si chiama Pasi, è un piccolo coltivatore che viene arrestato in stato di ubriachezza. Il resto del film è un lungo flashback in cui vengono ricostruiti gli eventi che hanno portato alla tragica sparatoria, la deriva spietata del protagonista verso la povertà, i problemi col governo e la polizia, i drammi familiari. Il personaggio è interpretato dallo stesso sceneggiatore-regista Niskanen.
