Lipton Cockton In The Shadows Of Sodoma
''Lipton Cockton in the Shadows of Sodoma'' (or simply ''Lipton Cockton'') is a 1995 Finnish dystopian crime film written and directed by Jari Halonen. It tells the story of a private investigator living in a near-future federal state who begins to investigate unexplained explosion deaths. The film stars Jorma Tommila. Halonen has said in the 2011 interview that Ridley Scott's ''Blade Runner'', Jean-Luc Godard's '' Alphaville'' and Terry Gilliam's ''Brazil'' served as inspirations for the film. Halonen has said that he wanted to deal with criticism of individualism and its effect on humanity in the theme of film. During the production process, the creators aimed at foreign markets, but the success both at the domestic box office and in foreign sales remained modest. Instead, the film toured many festivals, such as at the 1995 Fantasy Filmfest in Berlin. Jukka Uusitalo, Ilmari Hakala and Jouni Nikkanen won the Jussi Awards for best production design in 1996.

Private Eye
''Private Eye'' is a British fortnightly satirical and current affairs news magazine, founded in 1961. It is published in London and has been edited by Ian Hislop since 1986. The publication is widely recognised for its prominent criticism and lampooning of public figures. It is also known for its in-depth investigative journalism into under-reported scandals and cover-ups.
