SLOW, BUT ARTISTIC

Aki Kaurismaki is one of the visually most astonishing directors of the past couple of decades. Finnish movie maker blurs the line between the theatre and the cinema, as well as the one between comic books and movies. ”The man with no past” is no exception when it comes to color gamma and lighting.

The thing that represents the major issue with Kaurismaki’s flick is the script. It is too blunt and too shallow for a movie. Characters are pretty much flat from beginning to the end and their actions can be considered naïve by present standards. Same thing applies for the plot itself.

”The man without a past” is the feast for the eye, but sadly, not for the brain as well.
