Overview

The poignant, deadpan films of Aki Kaurismäki are pitched somewhere in the wintry nether lands between comedy and tragedy. And rarely in his body of work has the line separating those genres seemed thinner than in what is often identified as his "Proletariat Trilogy," Shadows in Paradise, Ariel, and The Match Factory Girl. In these three films, something like social-realist farces, Kaurismäki surveys the working-class outcasts of his native Finland with detached yet disarming amusement. Featuring commanding, off-key visual compositions and delightfully dour performances, the films in this triptych exemplify the talents of a unique and highly influential film artist.

Overview

Lakonisch, mit leisem Humor und einer großen Liebe zu seinen meist tragischen Figuren der Arbeiterklasse erzählt Aki Kaurismäki in seiner 'Proletarischen Trilogie' von der forschen Industrialisierung Finnlands. Kaurismäki selbst nennt die drei Filme 'Schatten im Paradies' (1986), 'Ariel' (1988) und 'Das Mädchen aus der Streichholzfabrik' (1989) Erinnerungen an die finnische Wirklichkeit. Abseits von der 'Kulturscheiße' (Kaurismäki) zeigt der Regisseur pointiert, ohne viel Worte, mit dem ihm eigenen kargen Stil die kleinen Leute auf ihrer Suche nach einem bisschen persönlichen Glück.
