12A81 min

Celebrating the sweet joy of hope and revelling in the gentle comedy of disappointment, Aki Kaurismäki’s timeless, yet timely, tale is an absolute delight. Peppered with wry visual gags, joyful cinematic references and a scene-stealing dog, we enter the zero-hour-contract world of Ansa and Holappa, whose stuttering romance plays out with comic shades ranging from classical Hollywood melodrama to Hardyesque mishaps.
