fun documentary of the day...

Huutajat, aka "Screaming Men" in the US release.

It's a documentary about a Finnish chorus of men who scream and shout rather than sing. They clearly have fun, and it's more artful than one might suspect. They've also got a wonderfully wicked sense of humor about what they do, I'd say. There are several instances of very confused-looking interviewers trying to deal with very dry ironic humor.

I saw them on the news the other day. They are very silly. They were shouting the Finnish national anthem. I still don't know how that song goes.

Apparently they started the group in college because they were bored one day.
