U is for "Unknown Soldier" (2017)

I chose "Unknown Soldier" (2017) partly to recognize Finnish war movies. This subgenre is a strong one. And the movie made my 100 Best War Movies.  “The Unknown Soldier” is considered to be the greatest Finnish war movie.  Directed by Aku Louhimies, it is the most successful Finnish movie of the 21^st Century and the most expensive Finnish film ever.  The movie is based on a famous novel by Vaino Linna and it is the third version of the book.  The production used over 3,000 extras, some provided by the Finnish Defence Forces.  The main actors were put through a boot camp to learn wilderness skills, how to cross-country ski, and how to stay warm in the winter.
