WEEK 39


39. SHADOWS IN PARADISE, dir. AKI KAURISMAKI, 1986

IN THE LOOP: the trouble with having seen this film a week ago is that i'm forgetting the specifics. this is compounded by the fact that IN THE LOOP, even while i was watching it, had more good lines than i could possibly keep up with. solid performances, scathing insults, and a story whose basic points seemed scarily plausible. this is the kind of film that ordinarily might have slipped under my radar. i'm happy it didn't. i laughed a lot!

THIS WEEK: deadpan and beautiful. i love aki kaurismaki. i'm excited to see this.
