    The man behind the art: The iconic gay macho art of the '70s and '80s
  

*by F***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2018*

If you know Tom of Finland's work, you will be fascinated how it all came to be. This dramatic bio-pic follows the artist from WWII Finnish soldier to the underground European gay scene, and on to international fame in the gay art movement. It was a tough road as many people looked at the erotic art as filth (no surprise there) and others wanted to see and buy more. Sadly, much of his original art was stolen along the way.His exaggerated macho leather-clad men became a model to which leather men around the world aspired. Some of the funny parts in the film show the living actors right off the pages of his books. It was San Francisco in the late '70s that welcomed him as a "star" at an international leather convention. He achieved worldwide recognition as a result.Film focuses on the guy who created a look that some stupidly say in the film led to the widespread epidemic of AIDS in the '80s. From JO magazines to coffee table books, Tom of Finland gave us a fantasy look at the world of gay machismo.Perhaps one drawback is the relative lack of screen time spent looking at the drawings themselves. I know it's about the man, but the art is inextricably linked to that man. I feel younger people, with no idea about Tom of Finland, wouldn't get the full effect his art had on its viewers.Worth seeing.

    So much I had no idea of....
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2021*

The erotic drawings of artist Touko Laaksonen, known to the world as Tom of Finland, was something that every gay man has at one time or another seen. This is the story of his life and an interesting life it was. First, I had no idea that Finland was allies with Germany in Work War 2. I also thought that some things were more understood in Europe even in the 50's , boy, was I wrong. Tom and all gay men had a horrible time of it and were so underground that even a hint of homosexuality and you were in so much trouble. The acting and direction are superb. The scenery is stunning too. I really have to recommend this to see the struggles that came before.

    Biopic art film with a heart.
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2018*

This is a fine European art film in the Bergman/Strindberg dramatic tradition. If you don't have a background in that kind of film or play, though, you might find it hard to watch. The emphasis is not on Touko's relationship with the gay male leather community (for that, see "Daddy and the Muscle Academy"), but on his early adult years during and after World War II, when he imprinted on a hypermasculine look based on PTSD from killing an enemy soldier and being arrested for furtive sex with strangers. It was not the strangers he imprinted on but the policemen who arrested him. His anxiety, alienation, and loneliness were translated by his art into a fantasy utopia of super studs getting it on. The performances are tops in this film, and Touko's relationship with his sister emerges clearly. After the repressions of northern Europe, his trip to California is like going to heaven. The film makes clear that it was his drawings that planted the seeds for the men who decided to live out the fantasies he created in his artwork. If you haven't seen European art films before but are interested in this material, I still recommend this film--just forget Hollywood pacing and give yourself over to this man's life story. It's superbly done.
