Dir: Aki Kaurismäki
2007
***
Regret, loneliness, stubbornness..it's a wonder we all still carry on. It's a wonder that Aki Kaurismäki caries on to be honest, as after watching the film I watched an interview with him that was a DVD extra and it sounds like every film he makes now is a real effort and he's totally lost his passion. Unfortunately it does show somewhat in Lights in the Dusk. Don't get me wrong though, it's a good film and easily one of his best looking films; never has a director made the ordinary look so colourful. This just isn't him at his best and I can only await hope he snaps out of it with nervous anticipation. Seriously though, Lights in the Dusk is stunningly beautiful, the everyday looking like a painted masterpiece.
