Restless (Finnish: Levottomat) is a 2000 Finnish romantic film directed by Aku Louhimies. It was entered into the 22nd Moscow International Film Festival.[2] The sex scenes in the film sparked uproar and disapproval from the audience and critics after the release.[3] Critic Antti Lindqvist wrote in Katso (5/2000) that the director throws more sex scenes and naked women and men on the screen more than anyone since Lauri Törhönen's 1986 film The Undressing.[4]

Restless was followed by Me and Morrison (2001) and Addiction (2004). Restless was co-written by Louhimies and Aleksi Bardy, but they did not participate in the sequels.
