    Almost a miserable Archie (except for the "Nokia Startup Screen" at the end of the movie). 1. The lonely, kind and stubborn male protagonist is almost completely calm, cold, and silent, always suppressing the grief and helplessness in his heart (only smiles when bathing in spring outside the prison), just like a container that accepts all suffering. , And it resembles the concretization of Bresson's "doll/model" theory. 2. This film is also a typical example of Aki's fusion of Ozu Yasujiro and...

    No matter when Aki's movies were made, the characters, environment, cars, and houses all resemble the 80s. Suddenly a few laptops appeared, thinking that my eyes were dazzling. This movie is called Twilight, but even the little hope that love brings is cold. The protagonist falls in love with the wine girl like moths, knowing that there is no result, but still bites the bullet and walks on. It's like that illusory success in the future. An infatuated and cruel...

Lights in the Dusk quotes

  • Bank Manager: [Bank manager is reviewing Koistinen's application for a small-business loan] Tell me, Koistinen... Are you some kind of comedian?

    Koistinen: Why?

    Bank Manager: Did you come to cheer us up? What are these papers? A trade school diploma... Did you think it will give you a loan of two hundred thousand - without any security, any guarantors?

    Koistinen: I'll guarantee it myself, until the company gets going and...

    Koistinen: [Interrupting him] Guarantees from trash like you are worthless.

    Koistinen: But I've got an account here.

    Bank Manager: I won't even take your application further. It's rejected. You're only wasting my time and yours. Go away.

  • Mirja: [Worried that Koistinen will squeal] He'll talk. He'll tell them about me.

    Lindholm: Koistinen will never betray you. He's loyal as a dog, a sentimental fool. My genius lies in understanding that.
