Review of Drifting Clouds (1996) by Christian B — 22 Aug 2008
I think this one defined Aki Kaurismäki as a director more than any other movie. Funny in that silent, awkward way we all learned to love in Aki productions. Optimistism hidden behind hardened faces.
I wonder if it actually can be enjoyed as much if you have to read the subtitles. It feels as if you get more out of it if you can understand Finnish (which I do). It's a very compact movie too. It sort of stays in one place.
..in a good way.
