How It’s Made meets revenge against the patriarchy. Sequences of oppressive atmospheres snuff any glimmer of hope. Giving everything to receive nothing.

One of the Greatest Debut Directorial features of all time, All Hail Aki Kaurismäki for the Mouchette and Jean Dielman of the 90s, what a true ode to the Great masters of celluloid Robert Bresson and Yasujiro Ozu.

Perhaps the purest distillation of Kaurismäki's cinematic style, combining romantic melodrama and kitchen sink realism in an expression that goes beyond deadpan. Confronting tonal complexity within a frame of liberating poetic simplicity.

This 68-minute film from minimalist master Aki Kaurismäki follows a young woman so downtrodden that she resorts to committing murder. It's unrelentingly bleak but there's a strange beauty in its quiet simplicity, lack of sentimentality and absence of any moral message. It's only after the credits have rolled that its true depth becomes apparent, and ultimately it leaves one heck of a profound impression.
