Fu**ing Bunnies (Short, 2017)
Starring Juoko Puolanto, Janne Reinikainen, Minna Suuronen
Directed by Teemu Niukkanen
The opportunity can very well present itself for many of us over the course of our lives: the opportunity arises one day when that “interesting” neighbor moves close to you, and provides you with some seriously entertaining stories to tell. In the new, absolutely hilarious short debuting at Sundance, titled Fucking Bunnies, the nearby residents of a quiet man make their presence known, and just want to live a life of simplistic debauchery and Satanic worship…maybe even join a squash-team.
Raimo (Puolanto) is a quiet guy living in Helsinki, and he enjoys the simple things: hanging out in his apartment, playing a bit of squash, and enjoying down time with his lady (Suuronen). When Maki (Reinikanen), the leader of a Satanic-sex cult moves in down the hall, he comes off as the perfect gentleman, and besides his face-paint and obvious love for the Dark Lord and all he controls…he’s a pretty swell fellow. Courteous, hospitable, and a damn good husband to his 18 wives – hey, nothing like dipping into the variety pack from time to time.
As time goes by, Maki’s lifestyle begins to invade Raimo’s quiet existence, and the question remains, will Raimo cave in and join the unholy alliance that is Maki’s bunny-like minions, or will he resist and face the fires of Hell? – On the other hand, he could just as easily just let things roll off his back and hit the squash courts – in any event, this 17-minute short from Teemu Niukkanen is HEAVY on the subtle humor and sight gags, all adding up to one of the more entertaining short films to roll down the assembly line in quite a while – make sure you give this beauty a gander when it moves into your domicile – I’m giving this one TWO HORNS UP!
