Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
In the midst of an existential crisis following a recent break-up, Luukkainen begins his experiment: he locks away all his possessions in storage, allowing himself to retrieve only one item a day. A ‘Finnish-weird’ approach to self-help.
Long before Marie Kondo mounted her campaign to de-clutter the lives of the consumerist hordes, Finnish filmmaker Petri Luukkainen began his own exercise in ascetic purification. A warm and enlightening conceptual documentary, My Stuff sets out to separate the things we want from the things we need.
