A great example of the mundane in film that didn't make you think so but rather be fascinated by visuals of the film and how Kaurismäki tells it.
Aki Kaurismaki manages to pull off another black comedy about the depressing conditions that surround the working class. Language fails to communicate for the characters, thus Kaurismaki statures this film with expressive music and cinematography. Socially-conscious dry humour? Sign me up.
Tulitikkutehtaan Tyttö 1990 DIR Aki Kaurismäki SCR Aki Kaurismäki 69 Min I can not explain why I love Aki Kaurismäki's films.
I didn't sense the dark humor in this film. It's a straightforward drama, bleak and destitute.
Who ever knew that bright colors could be so depressing? Face paced, short on words, genius.
