    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...

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...

    Attendance rate: 50% are
    late, a quarter of an hour late, for fear of disturbing everyone to sit in the front row consciously.
    Generally speaking, it is a very light-hearted movie. The bloody theme of amnesia was dealt with by Guo Limowski and filled with the warmth of the common people. It is...

  • Nieminen: Rather small potatoes.

    M: The weather was bad. But they will make a soup.

    Nieminen: When did you plan to make it?

    M: Why so interested?

    Nieminen: I have an onion. You need it for the soup.

    M: I've got eight potatoes. I must save three for winter and at least two as seed potatoes. We farmers must think of the coming years, too. We only eat what is left over. There is not enough for three. I want to invite Irma to dinner.

    Nieminen: So none for me?

    M: Right.

    Nieminen: You're selfish.

    M: I am a realist. You city people are children of the moment.
