Dani G @RT81139271 07/08/2024 Don't you feel like the french movies of Kaurismaki are not like the finnish ones? It's like the same, but not. Although this one in particular does feel a little more close to that than Le Havre, maybe because he brought more of his actors, and the thematic of course See more 07/23/2015 One of my favorites!

If I show up in this getup, he may change his mind." "You can't accept his offer anyway. Gassot is a supporter of the right.

Just yesterday he voted for widows' pensions. Besides, he knows influential people whom I'll convince to commission compositions from you and portraits from Rodolfo." "That changes everything." If there's a better movie about bohemians (declassed intellectuals), then I don't know of it. And surely there is none funnier. (But also, of course, beautiful, and sad.)
