AKI KAURISMAKI'S PROLETARIAT

A major force in the Finnish film industry, Aki Kaurismaki wrote and directed this trio of bleak, deadpan films about working class brutes eking out an existence in wintry Helsinki. In the ironically titled Shadows in Paradise (1986, 76 mins.), a garbageman (Matti Pellonpaa) mourning the loss of a friend finds hope in a love affair with a simple checkout girl (Kati Outinen), which introduces a bit of bliss into their dreary lives. This was followed by the biting and funny satire Ariel (1988, 74 mins.), inspire d by European black comedies, American road movies and 1930's gangster films. When a miner loses his job, he is given a huge white Cadillac convertible and embarks on a cross-country trip that leads to a series of unpredictable adventures. The final part of Aki Kaurismaki's "Proletariat Trilogy," The Match Factory Girl (1990, 70 mins.), is a unwelcoming portrait of contemporary Helsinki. The tale focuses on a sad-eyed factory woman (Kati Outinen again) who seeks the ultimate revenge on the caustic parents who brutalized her and the wealthy architect who sexually humiliated her. In Aki Kaurismaki---Finland---1986-1990---215 mins.

Award-winning Finnish auteur Aki Kaurismaki rounds out his minimalist "loser trilogy"--including Drifting Clouds and The Man Without a Past--with this "radiantly beautiful" (Film Comment) noir melodrama about a lonely security guard (Janne Hyytiainen) in Helsinki who is dragged into the shady business of a Russian femme fatale (Maria Jarvenhelmi). Timo Salminen's evocative cinematography is fittingly oppressive. Nominated for the Golden Palm at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. In Finnish with English Aki Kaurismaki---Finland---2006---80 mins.
