    Very nice movie. I really like Aki's unhurried narrative rhythm and beautiful picture composition, and the dialogue is surprisingly funny. Who hasn't passed yet? We live in the...

    This is definitely the best movie of Archie Kaurismaki, the post-industrial atmosphere, the cold story, the loneliness at the bottom, the near-perfect music mastery, and the precious happy ending `I've always been worried about the director's final turn , let the protagonist go back to loneliness~~ I can't help laughing when I see that the new husband of the protagonist's wife is the male protagonist of "Light of...

    Kaurismaki is possessed by Bresson! Starting from the beginning after the past is isolated, the story is actually very simple, but the personal style is strong. The actors are all old faces, and the small cute points are also very warm. As for the music, what Aki's films will never forget is the...

    The first time I got to know Aki was in the short film about ten minutes old age. He was the first to appear in the trumpet chapter. The work: Dogs Have No Hell; the band's thunder and lighting in the restaurant simply amazed me. This is Aki's first full-length work I've seen. The same excellent and sophisticated soundtrack, minimalist style, and very distinct film quality make his work almost instantly recognizable. I like the director's style so...

    Wipe, don't tell me that the people of Hulan are like this in reality, almost everyone is cute and cute... Maybe the distance between the real people of Hulan VS. Uncle Aki in the movie is equal to or approximately equal to the real Chinese people VS. The countryside Looking for the distance of Kaige Chen et al.'s...

    Cold humor, positive energy

    This is the best film by Aki Kaurismaki, at least among the few that I have watched. Still a few words, a cold expression, a fixed lens, a soothing rhythm, and a delicate picture. Different from the other movies, it adds a lot of sense of humor. Although it's a bit cold, it's only a little bit...

    Should there be no past~

    Remember, this was the most moving entry at the Cannes Film Festival in a certain year~ This
    film is from the hands of Finnish film master Akikolis. The film is basically 90 minutes long, which is relatively short.
    The film, through the mouth of a man who has forgotten the past, eloquently tells...
