Review of Calamari Union (1985) by Petri J — 28 Jan 2010
About 15 guys (all named Frank, except one) embark on an epic journey to get to... the other side of town. It's not as easy as it sounds. It reminded me a lot of Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. And like Kaurismaki's later film, Leningrad Cowboys Go America, it's essentially an absurdist travelogue, with a little more "absurd" and a little less "travel".
Not quite as funny, as some of the monologues call a halt to the comedy. But otherwise a really fun time.
