'''''The Unknown Soldier''''' (Finnish: ''Tuntematon sotilas'') is a 2017 Finnish war drama movie directed by Aku Louhimies (''[[Tears of April]]'') based on the novel of the same name by Väinö Linna from 1954. The film is the story of a Finnish machine gun company during the Continuation War. It shows how friendship, humor, and the will to live unite these men on their way there and back. The war changes the lives of each of the soldiers as well as the lives of those on the home front, and also leaves its mark on the entire nation. This is the third filming of the novel after the [[Unknown Soldier, The (1955)|1955]] and [[Unknown Soldier, The (1985)|1985]] versions. It was released for the 100th anniversary of the Finnish independence (December 6, 1917) and was shot almost entirely with natural light such as the 2015 movie [[Revenant, The (2015)|The Revenant]]. | '''''The Unknown Soldier''''' (Finnish: ''Tuntematon sotilas'') is a 2017 Finnish war drama movie directed by Aku Louhimies (''[[Tears of April]]'') based on the novel of the same name by Väinö Linna from 1954.
