The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to see Titanic

Exceptional acting and directing. Loved the audiovisual style.

Nikki's film is purposefully shot, almost exclusively focussed on Poikolainen's Jaakko to yield a sense of claustrophobia. Paired with the aggressively grey colour palleted, Nikki manages to capture a cinematic interpretation of both blindness & paraplegia in a novel way, aided by strong performances. The plot leans into the comedy initially, before taking quite a darker turn that didn't quite work for me. Definitely an interesting watch with some sharp-witted dialogue.
