IMDb Picks: October's Indie Picks5 of 7
Tom of Finland
The movie Tom of Finland tells the life story of Touko Laaksonen, the gay Finnish artist who became a fetish art phenomenon. At a time when such drawings could mean a jail sentence or worse, Laaksonen submitted his drawings to Physique Pictorial, an American magazine dedicated to the male physique. From there, his audience grew and, over time, his work informed and shaped an entire subculture. This movie is a tribute to his life, his work, and his legacy. — Pam
