Nokia, Finlandia Vodka, and Aki Kaurismäki. Three exceptional Finnish exports of particular interest. ?Drifting Clouds blossoms.

In addition to achieving a paradoxical balance of mirth and melancholy, Drifting Clouds is a dark, mostly interior movie with a color scheme as big as all outdoors.

True to his temperament, Kaurismaki has made another funny-sad movie about the tenuousness of life, in all its ambiguity and nonsensical symmetry.

The film builds to a happier mood than many of the director's previous works; offbeat, droll twists and details add to its appeal.

A film touched by the absurd and the hopeful.

Kaurismaki has enormous love for these characters. He embraces their comic pathos, and rejoices that they do not surrender.

What can be said about Drifting Clouds can be said about hangdog Finnish humor in general: it's making the best of a depressing situation.
