Award-winning filmmaker Dome Karukoski brings to screen the life and work of one of the most influential and celebrated figures of twentieth century gay culture. Tom Of Finland is the beautiful and thrilling true story of Finnish artist Touko Laaksonen and his journey to international success and now it’s on DVD/Blu-Ray! If you didn’t already know, Touko (aka Tom of Finland) started to draw muscular, uninhibited and proud gay men, but these drawings had to be kept secret – post-war Finland is a bleak and moralistic place where homosexuality is illegal. But his drawings soon led him to Berlin and Los Angeles, where his art reached a wide audience. His work, always with his ‘Tom of Finland’ signature, becomes widely symbolic and fans the flames of the gay movement. The limited edition DVD release includes Special Features like
Interviews with Durk Dehner and Deleted Scenes, plus a special foldout poster. Tom of Finland is available on DVD & Blu-Ray from 20 November 2017.
