The Harvest Month, originally titled Elokuu, is a 1956 Finnish drama directed by Matti Kassila. Adapted from a 1941 novel by Nobel Prize winner F.E. Sillanpää, the film depicts the decline and fall of a once-proud family caused by the alcoholism of the paterfamilias.
Culturally, the film represents the work of one of Finland's premiere filmmakers and was entered into the 1957 Cannes Film Festival. Its tone is downbeat, and its pacing is noted as being overlong, which limited its worldwide appeal.
