Floating clouds and world affairs, the hard life of little people

It is true that the core of comedy is tragedy, especially the work of Finnish film master Aki Kaurismaki. The little people he portrays always arouse the audience's empathy, and this time the story tells about the re-employment of an unemployed couple. Such a simple and a little boring story, no matter where you look at it, it has nothing to do with comedy, but under the clouds and world events, life is full of different situations, and the ups and downs of small people interpret the feast of cold humor. And when I saw the last, I really burst into tears, although I knew that this might be the last match of the little girl who sold matches. But because of this, I think this is also the warmth and strength under the unique coldness in Nordic movies, which is unforgettable for a long time.
