Metrodome takes on UK rights to Finnish hit Purge

Antti Jokinen directs the adaption of Finnish-Estonian writer Sofi Oksanen’s bestseller.

The film is Finland’s entry for the foreign Oscar race.

It has already earned $2.4m at the Finnish box office.

Produced by Marcus Selin from Solar Films, Purge spans over 50 years, telling the story of two women from two different eras, who are linked by separate tales of deceit, desperation and fear. The cast features Liisi Tandefelt, Laura Birn, Amanda Pilke and Peter Franzén.
