'Black Ice' triumphs at Jussi awards

Film screens at Berlin

STOCKHOLM — Petri Kotwica’s “Black Ice” nabbed six awards at Finland’s Jussi Awards Sunday night, including prizes for film, director and lead actress.

Although the pic is about a dark love triangle, it has comedic touches and has been both a critical and audience hit in Finland. It screens in competition at the Berlin Film Festival.

“A Man’s Job,” a controversial film about a male prostitute helmed by Aleksi Salmenpera, took awards for actor and supporting actor.

Jukka-Pekka Siili’s “Ganes,” a pic featuring local rock band the Hurriganes, also took two awards, for set design and costume design.
