Matti (2006)Synopsis:
Ski jumper descends from 4 Olympic Gold Medals, to serving two years for stabbing a relative. Careers as a stripper and singer, plus five marriages, replete with stories of Domestic Violence are fictionalized sympathetically in dramedy. Alleged exploitation/manipulation due to naivety and gullibility, along with deterioration of Matti's skiing ability due to heavy drinking and bad decisions is emphasized. Many Matti malapropisms a la Yogi Berra, attributed to the Finnish skiing legend are employed as biopic comic dialogue.
