Following-up the last Kaurismäki film I watched, La Harve, this is also about the fate of refugees in Europe—but this time in Kaurismäki‘s native homeland of Finland. Though this film is a lot more cynical than La Harve, Kaurismäki‘s idealism about how people should be towards each other ultimately wins out. Both this film and Le Harve harken back to Jean Renoir and the idea of the guy that just steps-up to be someone in need—no questions asked.
