They must be... perhaps some scheduling dilemma soon to be resolved.

actually, the Calamari Union that is on Vimeo is a cheap US remake! so I missed it. Fuck.

priority number one was drifting clouds but I couldn't make it because of exhibiting at Mocca festival. However, I am going to man without a past tonight.

Drifting Clouds was a treat, but I was a little baffled by the boite ex machina that resolved things

I made it to Match Factory Girl, which was wonderful in 35mm. On the big screen, I had a lot of fun being able to observe the micro-changes in expression on Kati Outinen's face. As always with AK I discovered some laff moments that I'd never noticed before.

Same Aki, different day. I loved it & laughed a lot, easily top ten of the year for me.

The female lead is the spitting image of a young Kati Outinen, even

Yeah, it really is objectively Just Another Kaurismaki Film but somehow this one really hit with me - the warmth and the no-nonsense portrayal of how the working class gets fucked over and the lobby cards.
