The Screaming Men\’s Choir from Oulu, North Finland is a unique phenomenon. The choir, a fruition of a crazy idea brought up during casual conversation in a pub 15 years ago, has become a popular show throughout Europe. The men in the choir do not sing, they scream. The contrast of the conservative costumes and the singing of national anthems, military marches and children\’s songs in screams produces something that can be described as an encounter between modern art, a Monty Python skit, and native Maori rituals. The film by Mika Ronkainen, who was a member of the choir between the years 1994 and 1998, follows the choir\’s world tour and relates to it in a clever combination of seriousness and farcical humor. “Screaming Men” is a film about power, nationalism, fascism and faith in art. Ronkainen\’s direction suits itself to the zany humorous atmosphere. He blends rock and classical music documentary film clichés, and dilutes them with his own unique cinematic moments of humor. Documentary comedy, a delightful combination!
