I feel sorry for the poor protagonist. Unfortunately

I feel sorry for the poor protagonist. Unfortunately, shit does happen like this.

A must see for Kaurismaki fans. It brilliantly

A must see for Kaurismaki fans. It brilliantly depicts how the more adroit members of society casually exploit the weak without consequence. What constitutes such a weak isolated character is the subject of the film. His infantile dreams, his botched attempt to make something of himself and when this woman enters it seems to him that he’s finally on his way to fulfilling his dreams. And despite knowing he’s been betrayed he refuses to turn in his betrayers.

Even if one doesn’t agree with the protagonist’s

Even if one doesn’t agree with the protagonist’s choices, and despite some seeing it as a pessimistic work, as Aki often does, the film ultimately holds on to a quiet sense of hope and dignity. An absolute masterpiece.
