Tom of Finland
- Drama
Touko Laaksonen, a decorated officer, returns home after a harrowing and heroic experience serving his country in World War II, but life in Finland during peacetime proves equally distressing. He finds peace-time Helsinki rampant with persecution of the homosexual and men around him even being pressured to marry women and have children. Touko finds refuge in his liberating art, specialising in homoerotic drawings of muscular men, free of inhibitions. His work – made famous by his signature ‘Tom of Finland’ – became the emblem of a generation of men and fanned the flames of a gay revolution.
Tom of Finland is a 2017 drama film about Touko Laaksonen, a decorated WWII veteran who becomes a groundbreaking artist creating homoerotic drawings that inspired a generation. The film follows his journey from post-war Helsinki's persecution of homosexuality to international recognition under his pen name, Tom of Finland. Now available to stream, it's a powerful story of art, identity, and resistance.
