Title, silence. Silent until only the noise of coal mine operations remained, silent anger and helplessness exploded in the blast, rolled under the wheels, and locked on the abandoned factory gate. The suspension of production left the workers desperate. Through the scene where the workers died by...

What can you do in 69 minutes? read a book? Play a game? Change a partner or say a 180-degree life? For Finnish director Aki, 69-90 minutes is the time when his cravings have not developed. After 90 minutes, I don’t think the addiction should be described. And he, the movie as a foreplay to...

Aki Kaurismäki, a director from Finland, was prepared for the paleness and dullness of Nordic movies (where is the discrimination against the North?), but he did not expect that the plot and rhythm would turn sharply after a scene. , completely exceeded expectations! The miner Kasurinan took his...

Aki's film is like an angry young man who likes to tell bad jokes. In his jokes, people are accustomed to silently accepting hurt and restraining to the point of being numb and trembling at the last explosion. "Looking at the world with cold eyes" in Aki's film always has a different and more...

From the first shot I guessed that this should be a good movie that I like. Untidy floors, crude stairs, slightly dim light, projections beside the stairs, the lines of the whole picture are simple and simple, the curtain is pulled open to tell the audience that the story begins. Then, the shadow...

It has a Kafka feel to it. I liked everything except the ending of Escape from Heaven. To think that there is a hope elsewhere is bad.

A few details are quite interesting: in the opening scene, after giving/entrusting the car to the male protagonist, he walked into the bathroom and committed...

From the beginning to the end, the expressions of the characters are not very sad or happy, they are all calm faces, at most one glances up; even if they are beaten, robbed and arrested along the way. Although the film is not long, it is a bit boring at first glance. My favorite son. Finally, he...

Aki Kaurismaki's film "Ascension" subtly echoes the theme and emotion of the film in terms of "light and shade", "space" and "line of sight", reflecting his pursuit of aesthetics and emotional value. Among them, the use of color and the structure of light form a sharp contrast between light and...

A satirical noir film. After the hero lost his job, he drove to another city, and it was difficult to settle down. In self-defense when encountering bullying, he was caught by the police and thrown into prison. The man he met in prison was full of self-sacrificing pride, knowing that he wanted to...

Although it is a proletarian film, what I am most interested in is an uncommon humor used by the director, with a blank face, and a similar exaggerated expression, like Wang Jing said that Stephen Chow's comedy relies on action, Aki's Movies also rely on action, some things, and especially the...
