Miss Blue Jeans

About This Movie

Miss Blue Jeans is an interesting snapshot of 1977 Finland, where the clash of punk and new wave hits a sleepy town like Oulu. The film captures the essence of teenage rebellion with a raw energy that feels authentic. Välde, the protagonist, is a fascinating character—filled with dreams of rock stardom and the reckless abandon of youth. The music has this gritty edge, and the performances are surprisingly heartfelt amidst the chaos. The pacing can be a bit erratic, but it reflects the turbulent emotions of that era. Plus, there’s a distinctive visual style that showcases the stark Finnish landscape, which adds to the film's atmosphere. Definitely not your typical coming-of-age story.
