An intense movie, shot from a blind man’s perspective. An atypical action/thriller film about a man who has to go through hell to reach his loved one. Jaakko is blind and disabled, tightened to his wheelchair. He loves Sirpa. Living far away, they have never met in person, but they meet every day over the phone. When Sirpa is overwhelmed by the shocking news, Jaakko decides to go to her immediately despite his condition. In any case, he just needs to rely on the help of five strangers in five places: from home to taxi, from taxi to station, from station to train, from train to taxi and finally from taxi to... her.

The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic reliably evokes emotions in the viewer, because a subject in which bad things happen to a severely disabled person probably cannot be treated without emotional impact. In that respect, the film is a bit of a tear-jerker, which makes me not entirely like it. But for the first, entertaining and better than expected half, I'll give it a fourth star. (56th KVIFF)
