    "Tom of Finland, a film about Finnish artist Touko Laaksonen, gets its first poster. Biopic directed by Dome Karukoski stars Finnish actor Pekka Strang in the title role.


    Touko Laaksonen (1920-1991), a prominent figure in gay art scene and a pioneer of homoerotic fetish art and gay imagery, was persecuted in his youth about his homosexuality and found escapism through art, which gave him the tools to express himself. Famous of drawing lascivious masculine figures in athletic poses dressed in leather, Laaksonen has said to be one of the most influential figures to the late 20th century gay culture."

    Interesting. Love his art, I have a doc on him somewhere but haven't watched it yet.

      This looks much better than I expected!!!

      There's a great line in the trailer at 1:02, which I really can't give the translation it deserves, but it basically it says "You hear it yet, we established our own motorcycle club... just without motorcycles"
