E' vero. A volte basta un fotogramma, oserei dire.
After two decades of work, his minimalist style is at his best with this, economic in image and story yet also vivid and rich in detail. The deadpan nature of Kaurismäki’s work is here, but it’s matched by a heartfelt and extremely melancholic story which touched me. It’s difficult to explain why I loved this as much as I did, but it was cinema at its most rewarding and beautiful.
Manera e la Penoni devono essersi ispirati a questo film per la loro parodia del "cinema polacco". Kaurismaki più essenziale di Kaurismaki. Riconoscibile dalla prima inquadratura dei titoli di testa. Chiaro che lo ami o lo odi.
I like this more than Man Without a Past, i know i'm in the minority there but...different strokes for different folks.
There are some weird transitions that defy logical beats, but all in all, there are so many brilliantly funny moments I can't help but praise this film to the fullest. "It's too crowded in here, let's talk in my car." She says in an empty restaurant. Characters speaking to each other without looking at one another. Kaurismaki is a genius, and "Lights in the Dusk" is up there just below "Man without a Past."
Typical Kauriskami, though kinda rough at the edges this time. Not his best, not his worst.
