Everything is horrible forever… it’s another Kaurismäki flick, yay! An extra depressing one, but kinda hopeful still, as you might have guessed. Yet another ultra-bleak drama (or pitch black comedy? As with many of his films, i’m not quite sure…) about very average people carrying on in the face of suffocating circumstances. Business as usual for Kaurismäki, you might say. Much of the plot will later be recycled for his most recent (and IMHO stronger, more balanced) film, The Other Side Of Hope. Good, not great, this one.

The Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki has made several films about the "little people" in society, hardworking folk who have a spot of bad luck and risk being overlooked by the state bureaucracy and business development schemes that are ostensibly there to help them.
