"What's this button do?" Kaurismami is one of the very few directors who actually make me laugh out loud during his movies.

This movie is so abrupt and bleak and humorous. It's like...if Bresson and Melville had a baby, and that baby was Finnish...and had a sense of humor... ...this isn't much of a review...

There's more action in the first five minutes of this than most of Kaurismaki's movies put together! There are explosions, a-and guns, and knives, and all sorts of crap! Anyway, droll comedy about a detached couple that come together and decide, after the man goes to prison, to break free of their proletariat life and go to Mexico--in mostly typical deadpan Kaurismaki style. A great soundtrack, of course.

Ariel is another black comedy from Kaurismaki as part of his depressing Proleteriat Trilogy. Kaurismaki and Jarmusch have time and time again delivered solid dry-humour-stricken films for misers like me. Ariel is one of them. Part-noir, part-black-comedy, the film is interesting, gripping and simultaneously very funny (and well-shot).

Ariel 1988 DIR Aki Kaurismäki SCR Aki Kaurismäki 72 Min I can not explain why I love Aki Kaurismäki's films, but the triviality makes me laugh.
