Wikipedia article
'Compartment No. 6' (; ) is a 2021 internationally co-produced drama film co-written and directed by Juho Kuosmanen, starring Seidi Haarla and Yuri Borisov, based on the 2011 novel of the same name by Rosa Liksom.
The film was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. It shares the Grand Prix with Asghar Farhadi's 'A Hero'. It was selected as the Finnish submission for the Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards and was one of the 15 "shortlisted" films in the category but was not nominated for the Oscar.
During the Cannes Film Festival, Sony Pictures Classics bought the distributing rights to the film not only in North America, but also in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Previously, out of all Finnish films, the company has only distributed Aki Kaurismki's 'The Man Without a Past'.
