About The Earth Is a Sinful Song

Directed by Rauni Mollberg, The Earth Is a Sinful Song leans on a strong ensemble — Maritta Viitamäki, Pauli Jauhojärvi, Aimo Saukko — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1973.
