State Quality Prize

“The Crawl is simply a cinematic masterpiece. It’s a film about a young competition swimmer, Sirja Luomaniemi, who dreams of challenging the woman who holds the world record. But the film is more than a portrait of a woman athlete. It becomes a poetical vision with almost mythical overtones relating the human body to the element of water, shot in beautiful slow-motion images and underwater takes.”
