Matti

The top film in Finland right now is Matti, a biopic of the colourful life and times of Matti Nykänen, the country's most notorious sports star. From a four-time Olympic gold medallist with a memorable turn of phrase, Nykänen's post ski-jumping career has seen him intersperse spells as a pop star, stripper and tabloid regular with repeated brushes with the law, culminating in a recent spell behind bars for aggravated assault.
Married five times, Nykänen has also had his financial problems. When visiting Helsinki's Olympic Museum a couple of years ago, the guide pointed to a case full of Nykänen's medals and explained that he had had to sell them but that the museum allowed him in for private viewings of his haul whenever he asked.
As one Finnish acquaintance puts it: "Everyone in Finland has an opinion on Matti."
