priority number one was drifting clouds but I couldn't make it because of exhibiting at Mocca festival. However, I am going to man without a past tonight.

I made it to Match Factory Girl, which was wonderful in 35mm. On the big screen, I had a lot of fun being able to observe the micro-changes in expression on Kati Outinen's face. As always with AK I discovered some laff moments that I'd never noticed before.

Same Aki, different day. I loved it & laughed a lot, easily top ten of the year for me.

Yeah, it really is objectively Just Another Kaurismaki Film but somehow this one really hit with me - the warmth and the no-nonsense portrayal of how the working class gets fucked over and the lobby cards.

really loved FALLEN LEAVES, particularly the first three-fourths or so. sort of felt that the end was a bit too tidy but it’s a small complaint
