Aaltonen was born in Sääksmäki. He began his career in the mid-1970s working as a sound editor on various films. Early in his career, he worked with Rauni Mollberg as co-writer on two of his films, Milka – A Film About Taboos (1980) and The Unknown Soldier (1985).

In 1987, Aaltonen directed his first feature film, The Final Arrangement (Script error: No such module "Lang".), which he co-wrote with Aki Kaurismäki, who also produced the film. Five years later, he directed a film that has been considered his primary breakthrough, The Prodigal Son (Script error: No such module "Lang"., 1992). Aaltonen was the first Finnish director to work on topics like pedophilia, Sadomasochism and sexual subjugation without credibility and morality.[1]

Aaltonen has also made documentaries and directed TV series.
