I will probably never stop admiring Kaurismäki's unmistakable directorial style, which plays a major role in this film. It is again a story from the socially weaker classes with very spare dialogues and peculiar humor. However, what got me the most was the theme, both in its simplicity and in its originality. If I add to that the wonderful musical underscore and the great performance of Jean-Pierre Léaud in the lead role, I'm almost aiming for the highest rating. (85%)

Aki Kaurismäki is truly a minimalist, now with basically three characters - albeit anchored in the social environment - he manages to handle an interesting story, which has a good starting point but is not filmed to fully exploit its potential. The man's attempt to let himself be killed is absurdly strange.
