Overview

Not to be confused with any of the sequels to Sylvester Stallone's classic Oscar-winning Rocky, this short film from Finnish filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki is actually meant as a parody of the late Cold War-era Rocky IV, which saw Stallone's character taking on a juiced-up Russian fighter played by Dolph Lundgren. In this 1986 send-up, Rock'y, played by Silu Seppala, goes head to head with Soviet Igor (Sakari Kuosmanen) and loses.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A deadpan Finnish parody that turns Cold War boxing heroics on their head with droll humor and monochrome minimalism, ending with the protagonist's defeat as a punchline.
